01 - 12 pitted Medjool dates
02 - 1/2 cup creamy mascarpone cheese
03 - 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup
04 - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence
05 - 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts (pecans, pistachios, or walnuts)

05 - Drizzle a bit of maple syrup over the top and, if you’d like, add some sea salt flakes or a sprig of fresh mint or thyme to finish.
