Goat Cheese and Chocolate-Stuffed Dates
Photo: Lee Harrelson; Styling: Mindi Shapiro
Use a high-quality chocolate bar (such as Scharffen Berger) and soft Medjool dates for the best flavor. Substitute Neufchâtel cheese in place of goat cheese for more sweetness.
How to Make It
Step 1
Open the slit in each date; stuff about 1/2 teaspoon goat cheese and about 1/8 teaspoon chocolate inside each date. Close date around filling; press gently to seal. Arrange stuffed dates in a single layer on a platter; sift powdered sugar over dates.
Step 2
Note: Refrigerate stuffed dates in an airtight container for up to two days.

These are fantastic!! The sweetness of the date/chocolate with the tangy goat cheese is so very good together! My mom made some for Christmas and they were gone by the end of the evening. I will be making these. They make a wonderful light dessert or appetizer.

These are so sweet and delicious! And they're sweet enough without the powdered sugar (though the sugar makes them look prettier!). It's easy to buy the ingredients and just make one or two for a quick low-fat dessert for yourself. LOVE these!
