"There are quite a few ways to make healthy ingredients feel like dessert, and dates are a prime example. Dates, which are like prunes with a better reputation, are the secret to creating sweet smoothies, ice creams, and even faux candy bars without using granulated sugar. Because dates are high in natural sugars and soften when added to liquid, they can be used to sweeten almost anything, and they can also be eaten as-is for a uniquely chewy snack."
"The greatest thing about dates is that they make an excellent snack when eaten on their own, and adding just a few ingredients can make each bite feel like a full dessert. In this three-ingredient chocolate cheesecake date bites recipe, written with developer Michelle McGlinn, pitted Medjool dates are stuffed with prepared cheesecake filling, then layered with chocolate and left to set until hardened."
"The most common type of date sold in supermarkets is the Medjool date, which is sweet, earthy, and caramel-flavored. Opt for pitted dates, which take the work out of scooping the pit out of the dates before filling. Cheesecake filling, which is the prepared filling of a cheesecake without the crust, can be found in stores like Walmart in a tub large enough to fill a cake pan."
Dates are naturally sweet, chewy fruits high in natural sugars that soften when mixed with liquid and can sweeten smoothies, ice creams, and faux candy bars without granulated sugar. Medjool dates are commonly sold, with a sweet, earthy, caramel flavor; pitted Medjools simplify stuffing. A three-ingredient chocolate cheesecake date bite uses pitted dates filled with prepared cheesecake filling, coated or drizzled with easily melted chocolate, and chilled until set. Prepared cheesecake filling is available in tubs, and foil-wrapped chocolate squares melt readily. Simple tools like tongs or a fork can be used to coat the filled dates.
