These cheesecake stuffed dates are a deliciously chewy and chocolatey treat, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings with a nutrient-dense alternative to candy bars. Easy to prepare and no-bake, they combine the natural sweetness of medjool dates with creamy cheesecake filling, melted chocolate drizzle, crunchy pecans or graham cracker crumbs, and a sprinkle of flaky salt for a delightful snack or dessert that can be stored in the fridge.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes (includes 20 minutes chilling time)
  • Yield: 4 servings (2 dates per serving)

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 8 medjool dates
  • ¼ cup cream cheese
  • 3-4 tablespoons chocolate chips
  • 1-2 tablespoons chopped pecans and/or graham cracker crumbs
  • Flaky salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare tray: Line a large plate or baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare dates: For each date, make a lengthwise slice along one side without cutting all the way through. Open the date and carefully remove the pit. Place each pitted date on the parchment-lined plate with the open side facing up.
  3. Add cream cheese: Using about ½ tablespoon of cream cheese per date, spread it into the center cavity of each pitted date. Return the stuffed dates to the parchment-lined plate.
  4. Drizzle with chocolate: Place chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the cream cheese-stuffed dates arranged closely together on the plate.
  5. Add toppings: Immediately after drizzling, sprinkle chopped pecans and/or graham cracker crumbs over the dates. Finish by adding a pinch of flaky salt to enhance the flavors.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the tray of stuffed dates for at least 20 minutes or longer, allowing the chocolate to harden. Keep stored in the fridge and enjoy as a sweet snack or dessert.

Notes

  • If desired, add ½ teaspoon coconut oil to the chocolate chips before melting to achieve a thinner consistency for easier drizzling.
