4-Ingredient Date Caramel
4-Ingredient Date Caramel blends pitted Medjool dates with almond milk, sea salt, and vanilla extract to create a smooth, naturally sweet caramel sauce. The dates provide a rich, soft base balanced by the creaminess of almond milk, while a touch of sea salt and vanilla rounds out the flavor. This versatile sauce can be used as a topping or dip, and the consistency can be adjusted by adding almond milk gradually.

- Use soft Medjool dates for best results; soak dry or hard dates in water for 30 minutes before blending to soften.
- Smaller dates like deglet noor require using more to achieve a similar thickness and sweetness.
