Can I use other types of dates?

While Medjool dates are popular for their sweetness and size, you can use other varieties like Deglet Noor. Just ensure they are soft enough for easy stuffing.

How do I store leftovers?

Store leftover stuffed dates in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last up to 4 days, but enjoy them warm for the best flavor!

Are these dates healthy?

Yes! Dates are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Paired with mascarpone and maple syrup, they offer a deliciously sweet treat that can be part of a balanced diet.

Can I make these in advance?

Absolutely! You can stuff the dates a day ahead and store them in the fridge. Just bake them before serving for a warm, gooey treat.

What drinks pair well with stuffed dates?

Pair your Maple-Drizzled Mascarpone Stuffed Dates with coffee or herbal tea. A glass of milk or a fruit smoothie also complements their sweetness beautifully.
