Ingredients
- 1 pound of medjool dates approximately 20 dates – remove pits and stems
- 8 tablespoons of non-dairy milk or water
- ¼ teaspoon of ground sea salt
Instructions
- In a food processor or a high powered blender process the dates, milk or water, and sea salt until the dates are smooth and creamy.
- You can use water in place of a non-dairy milk but it won’t be quiet as creamy and it won’t taste exactly the same as date caramel made with milk.
- If your dates aren’t fresh (plump and squishy), soak them in warm water for an hour or two. When they feel soft and look hydrated drain and rinse them.
- This recipe makes about on full cup of date caramel. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and it will keep for a week. Drizzle it over ice cream, put it in your morning smoothie, add it to your oatmeal, or spread it on toast. Let your imagination soar.
- Enjoy!
