These Honey Pistachio Ricotta Stuffed Dates are a simple yet elegant St. Patrick’s Day treat—naturally sweet, creamy, and packed with crunch!
Ingredients
- 12 Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
- 2 tbsp honey (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

For a festive touch, you can sprinkle some green-colored sugar or chopped mint on top for an extra pop of color.
