Vegan Goat Cheese Bacon Wrapped Dates - tangy rich and smoky sweet, these bite size gems are always welcome at the party table! plan on making a double batch, at least.
We had a small cocktail party before the Melvins concert last week, and these Vegan Goat Cheese Bacon Wrapped Dates were the star. Well, my dachshund cocktail napkins were the real star.
Food wise, bacon. dates. sweet salty tangy savory goodness. A perfect party bite that I cannot wait to make again.
...the dachshund was in the pool! in the pool!

Vegan Goat Cheese Bacon Wrapped Dates
Rich, smoky and sweet, these bite size gems are always welcome at the party table! Plan on making a double batch, at least.
Ingredients
- 16 Medjool dates, pitted
- 6+ tablespoons Vegan Goat Cheese
- the first 4 ingredients of this Smoky Bacon Recipe
- 4 sheets rice paper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Slice date lengthwise (if your dates are already pitted, look for the slice already made). Fill each date with goat cheese (about one teaspoon each).
- Using kitchen scissor, cut rice paper into strips as wide as a Medjool date. Hold single strip under water faucet running cool water, just until it begins to soften. Dip strip into cashew butter mixture until well coated, wrap around filled date. Repeat with all dates.
- Make bacon strips with remaining rice paper (I had three strips left).
- Bake at 350 °F for 15-18 minutes. Serve warm.
- These can be made ahead and popped into the oven right before a party!

Wendy says
I cant find the recipe for the cashew butter recipe for this recipe?
Kristina Sloggett says
hi Wendy! I apologize for that, I added the links to the bacon mixture back to the recipe card - no idea why they disappeared. I hope you still want to make these and enjoy them!
Kim says
You are a total genius. I didn't even know there was vegan bacon so this post qualifies as life changing. One of K's besties is vegan so now I know what to make next time she crashes her for a few days. You amaze me, I love visiting your blog.

Oh my, it seems like rice paper is the new hotness right now and this sounds like an awesome use of it! Yum!

What a great idea to use rice paper to make vegan bacon!
Kristina Sloggett says

Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
If I can get this past Vegas, it'll be a small miracle. I'd eat the hell out of it though... so maybe I'd rather she NOT like it!
Kristina Sloggett says
hee! you should definitely try it - it is surprisingly good!
