Using a small knife, slice each date open lengthwise.
Fill each date with 1 tablespoon of cheesecake filling.
Bring 1 inch of water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
Break the chocolate into small pieces and add to a heat-proof bowl. Place bowl over simmering water.
Melt the chocolate, stirring constantly, until smooth. Remove from the heat.
Using tongs, a fork, or your fingers, roll the dates into the chocolate to coat, or drizzle with chocolate using the spatula. Place on a wax-lined sheet tray.
To set quickly, chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
Serve the dates or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
