Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing the 12 Medjool dates on a sturdy cutting board. Carefully slice each date lengthwise, ensuring you do not cut all the way through. Gently remove the pit from each date.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, add 8 ounces of softened cream cheese. Blend until smooth. Fold in ½ cup of toasted pecans and ¼ cup of dried cranberries.
  3. Spoon the cream cheese filling generously into each date, ensuring they are well-filled but not overflowing.
  4. If desired, place the filled dates in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to help firm up the cream cheese filling.
  5. Arrange the chilled stuffed dates on a serving platter and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
