A simple, elegant Ramadan dessert idea
During Ramadan we love to stock up on beautiful Medjool dates, especially those from Jericho. Naturally sweet and rich in flavour, dates are perfect on their own, but even more delicious when filled.
These pistachio cream stuffed dates are one of our favourite easy Ramadan dessert ideas. They’re simple to prepare, look beautiful on the table, and feel indulgent without being overly heavy, perfect for iftar gatherings or Eid hosting.
