Stuffed Dates
Skip the heavy holiday hams and roasts. If you’re cruising over the holidays, switch it up. Plan a festive champagne brunch for the holiday celebrations. Try these stuffed dates along with some champagne on ice. Not a fig fan? You can substitute figs or apricots instead.
Ingredients:
10 pitted dates, halved (or dried figs and apricot)
4 oz. ricotta cheese
1 tsp. orange juice
½ tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup nuts, crushed
Pinch of sea salt
Directions:
Mix ricotta with orange juice and vanilla. Fill the center of each date with ricotta mixture. Sprinkle with nuts and sea salt. Chill until ready to serve.
