Servings: Makes 20 stuffed dates
 
Comments:
If desired, combine the almond paste and rose water with a few drops of red food coloring in the food processor to give the almond filling a pretty pink color. Enjoy for Ramadan.

Ingredients:
20 large dates, such as Medjools or Black Sphinx
1 roll (7 oz.) almond paste
1 tsp. rose water
Finely chopped pistachios for garnish

Red food coloring, (optional)

Instructions:
Slit the dates open lengthwise and remove the pits.

In a food processor, pulse the almond paste with the rose water (add a few drops of red food coloring, if desired, to give the almond filling a pretty pink color).

Transfer the almond paste to a work surface and roll into a 10-inch log. Cut into 20 equal pieces. Roll each piece into an oval shape and slip into a date; slice in half so that the ingredients are visible.

To serve, place a 4 to 5 stuffed dates in small individual dessert glasses or cups and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.

Makes 20 stuffed dates, 4 to 5 servings.

I loved the dates, they are always a treat during Ramadan. Also, after removing the pits, you can fill the dates with fresh whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed almonds!
