EASY DATE CARAMEL SAUCE
This Date Caramel Sauce recipe cannot be easier; you need only three ingredients! Blend, and enjoy.
Equipment
- Bullet blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup Medjool dates Pitted.
- ½ cup coconut milk Lite or light canned. Or any unsweetened plant-based milk.
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch sea salt Optional.
Instructions
- Soak the dates for 15-20 min in hot water. Then drain them well.
- Add the dates, plant-based milk*, vanilla extract, and sea salt (if using) in a blender**. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides when needed.
- Serve as a dip with your favorite fruits or use it in your favorite dessert recipes. I love to enjoy this sauce as a snack with some green apples!
Notes
- * I'm using Canned Coconut milk (lite or light) to help with the creaminess without adding too much fat. You can also use any other plant-based milk if you don't like or can't use coconut milk. The texture changes a little bit, but it works well for the purpose of this sauce.
- ** I prefer using a bullet blender for smooth results.
- Store this caramel sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
- Add more milk for a thin sauce or more dates if you want a thick sauce.
- You can freeze portions of this sauce in ice cubes and thaw them when you need them (keep it for up to a month).
