Rated 5.0 stars by 1 users
Ingredients
- 240g pitted dates (about 12-14 large dates)
- 120ml water (or more as needed)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of sea salt
- 1 pinch of cinnamon
- 1-2 tbsp coconut oil
Directions
Soak the Dates: Soak them in warm water for about 10-15 minutes to soften them up. Drain the water after soaking.
Blend the Dates: In a food processor or blender, add the pitted dates and start blending. Gradually add water, a tablespoon at a time, until you get a smooth, thick caramel-like consistency.
Add Flavouring: Add the vanilla extract, coconut oil and a pinch of sea salt.
Adjust Consistency: If the caramel is too thick, add a little more water, one teaspoon at a time, until you get your desired consistency. It should be smooth but still hold its shape.
Serve or Store: Once it’s blended to your liking, use it immediately as a topping for ice cream, pancakes, or fruit, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks.
