Notes
- Recipe works best fresh, soft medjool dates. If dates are dry or hard, you can soak them in water for about 30 minutes, drain and then use them in the recipe.
- If you're using the smaller deglet noor dates, you'll need to use more! This is something you can play around with to get the caramel sauce thickness you're looking for.
