Mascarpone Stuffed Dates with Maple Drizzle
This clean-eating date dessert reminds me of one of my favorite southern treats, decadent pecan pie. The flavors are a heavenly blend, very rich and sweet with a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Very good but definitely don’t recommend parchment paper in the broiler. Will do again using foil.Reply
Amee Livingston
They definitely need to be watched carefully, but foil is a great option. I'm glad that you enjoyed them!

Thank you! Yes, they are addictive!

Is the calorie count per stuffed date? I just ate 6 and now realize these are soooo good but might not be as healthy as I thought lol.

Hi Sara! Yes, lol, the nutrition info is per date. I feel ya, the struggle is real! Hard to eat just one!

Would honey be a good substitute for the maple syrup? I don’t care for it. But this is making my mouth water! 😁

Hi Lisa! Yes, honey would be a great swap. 🙂

I make a similar appetizer-stuff the dates with lemon rind, honey & marscapone, then wrap them in prosciutto and crisp them a bit. You're right-you can't eat just one! I may have to try them your way! BTW, you can't read any of these comments in the white on beige!

Hi Amee, These dates look so yummy! I love to stuff dates with nuts or seeds and goat cheese and drizzle them with honey so this recipe sounds like something I will have to make. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Amee! I just recently started a love affair with mascarpone cheese... lol. I usually stuff my dates with feta cheese for some saltiness, but I LOVE this idea. All over it! Love your site, too! 🙂

Made these but used aged balsamic vinegar instead of the maple syrup and they were fantastic! I will definitely be making these again.Reply

Lovely, easy-peasy, little dessert treat! (For me, I'm better off changing out the parchment paper for foil and using the rack 2nd from broiler, wink, wink, if you know what I mean...just a little deterrent, not a deal breaker!)Reply
