Ingredients
Ingredients
- 10 Medjool dates (stem off, pitted and halved)
- ½ cup Maple syrup
- ½ cup Coconut cream (best if thick)
- 2 tablespoons Dairy-free milk
- 1 pinch Himalayan salt
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Remove the stems from the Medjool dates, pit them if not already pitted, and halve each date to ensure easier blending.
- Blend the sauce: Place the halved dates, maple syrup, thick coconut cream, dairy-free milk, and a pinch of Himalayan salt into a high-powered blender. Blend thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender to incorporate all ingredients evenly. Adjust the consistency by adding more dairy-free milk if the sauce is too thick.
- Serve and store: Pour the finished date caramel sauce into an airtight container. Use it as a topping for desserts, pancakes, or yogurt, or as a sweet dip. Store in the refrigerator and consume as needed.
Notes
- Use Medjool dates for their natural sweetness and creamy texture; other dates might alter the flavor.
- Thick coconut cream yields the best rich texture, but canned coconut milk that has separated can also be used.
- If you prefer a thinner sauce, add more dairy-free milk a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- The sauce keeps well in the refrigerator for up to two weeks if stored in an airtight container.
- This recipe is naturally vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free, making it suitable for many dietary preferences.
