Stuffed Dates with Almonds

• 8 ounce container whipped cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 8 ounce pkg. dried dates, pitted
• .25 cup sliced or whole almonds

In a small mixing bowl, mix together cream cheese, sugar and lemon juice. Set aside. Use a knife to widen the slit in each date, without cutting all the way through. Spoon or pipe in about a teaspoonful of the cream cheese mixture into each. Top each date with almonds. Serve cold or at room temperature. If not serving within an hour or two, store, covered carefully, in the refrigerator up to a day.
