Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 180°C / 350°F and lightly grease a small baking dish.
- Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds, keeping the halves intact.
- In a bowl, mix the cream cheese with honey, vanilla, orange zest, and salt until smooth.
- Fill each pepper half with the cheese mixture, leveling the top lightly.
- Scatter the butter pieces over the filling and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
- Bake until the peppers are soft and the filling looks lightly set, about 30 minutes.
- Let them rest for a few minutes; dust with powdered sugar only if you want extra sweetness.
Serving ideas (next-day dessert perspective)
These peppers taste surprisingly good cold. Chill leftovers and serve straight from the fridge with coffee the next day — the texture firms up and feels closer to a cheesecake.
