Equipment
- Food Processor or blender
- Sauce Container with Lid
Ingredients
- 10 ounces pitted Medjool dates
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup warm water optional, to thin out the caramel
Instructions
- If your dates aren't super fresh, they may be hardened. You can soften them up by soaking them in hot water for about 20 minutes, then draining the water.
- To a food processor, add the softened pitted dates, almond milk, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Blend well until fully combined.
- If you prefer, you can thin the sauce out with warm water. Pour a couple tablespoons at a time, blending afterwards, to ensure you get the perfect consistency.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Enjoy!
Notes
No-Waste Ingredient Tips:
Be sure to soften any harder dates by soaking in hot water for 20 minutes. That date-soaked water can be used for naturally sweetened tea - just add a tea bag or fresh tea leaves! You can serve the tea hot or cold.
Storage Instructions:
This will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Store in a container with a tight-fitting lid.
