Ingredients
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
24 Medjool dates, pitted
6 oz mascarpone cheese
2 tbsp Grade A Dark Amber maple syrup
Instructions
Prep the Dates:
Preheat your oven broiler and move the oven rack to the top position.
Slice each Medjool date lengthwise to remove the pit and create an opening for the filling.
Stuff the Dates:
Fill each pitted date with mascarpone cheese using a small spoon or piping bag.
Sprinkle the finely chopped pecans over the stuffed dates.
Broil the Dates:
Place the stuffed dates on a lined baking sheet.
Drizzle the maple syrup over the dates.
Broil in the preheated oven for about 3 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the dates to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
