Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese (about 4 ounces)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 8 Medjool dates
- 1/2 cup whole raw almonds, skin on
- 1/4 teaspoon olive oil
- Pinch of coarse salt
- 3 clementines or tangerines, peeled and separated into segments
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Stir together mascarpone, cinnamon, and sugar in a small bowl. Cut a slit lengthwise in each date, and remove pit. Fill each date with 1 tablespoon cheese mixture. Refrigerate dates until ready to serve, up to 2 hours.
-
Toss almonds with oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast in oven until fragrant and deep golden brown, about 10 minutes; sprinkle with salt. Arrange toasted almonds, stuffed dates, and clementine segments on a serving platter.
Cook's Note
To make this Mediterranean-inspired dessert even easier to prepare, serve the dates whole with the mascarpone mixture on the side; your guests can spoon a bit onto their plates for spreading.
