This recipe uses a handful of ingredients to create a delicious bite-sized treat that is both nutritious and satisfying.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp cream cheese
30g
4 almonds
4.80g
1/2 cup dried plums (prunes)
90g
1/4 tsp cardamom
1/2g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Prunes:
- Take your 1/2 cup of dried plums (prunes) and, using a sharp knife, carefully cut a slit along one side of each prune. Be sure not to cut all the way through. This will create a little pocket for the filling.
2. Mix the Filling:
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of cream cheese with 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom. Mix well until the cardamom is evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese.
3. Stuff the Prunes:
- Take a small spoonful of the cream cheese mixture and gently fill each prune. You want to fill them generously but not so much that the filling overflows. Aim for a smooth top.
4. Insert the Almonds:
- Once the prunes are filled with the cream cheese mixture, take one almond and gently push it into the middle of the cream cheese filling in each prune. The almond should be partially visible.
5. Chill (Optional):
- If desired, place the stuffed prunes in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to firm up before serving.
6. Serve:
- Arrange the cheese-stuffed prunes on a serving platter and enjoy as a delicious appetizer or snack!

Tips:

- Ensure the prunes are pitted.: Pitting the prunes beforehand will make the stuffing process much easier and ensure a better eating experience.

- Use softened cream cheese.: Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for a bit before mixing it with cardamom. This makes it easier to mix and stuff into the prunes.

- Consider toasting the almonds.: Toasted almonds will add an extra layer of flavor and crunch to the prunes. Simply toss them in a dry skillet over medium heat until they start to brown and release their aroma.

- Chill before serving.: Chilling the stuffed prunes in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes before serving can help firm up the filling and meld the flavors together.

Cheese-stuffed prunes with almonds are a simple yet elegant snack that you can prepare in just a few minutes. The combination of flavors and textures makes them a unique and pleasing treat. Whether you're making these for a party, a holiday gathering, or just a personal indulgence, they are sure to be a hit. Enjoy the sweet, creamy, and nutty goodness of this delightful recipe!
