Scroll down to see more recipes using dates.

Ingredients:

  • 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon coconut or orange extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 4 dozen pitted whole dates
  • food coloring, optional
  • granulated sugar

Preparation:

Sift powdered sugar and blend with sweetened condensed milk and flavorings. Knead fondant mixture until very smooth. Add finely chopped pecans. If using food coloring, divide mixture into 3 separate bowls and use a little green food coloring to tint one a light green, a little red to tint one pink and leave the other white (or use your own colors, depending on season). Cover bowls with damp cloth and refrigerate overnight. Fill each date with the chilled fondant and roll in granulated sugar.
Makes 4 dozen stuffed dates.
