Ingredients
1 ½ cups Medjool dates, pitted and soft (about 15 large dates)
½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt (optional)
¼ teaspoon cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice (optional)
Instructions
- If dates aren’t soft, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain.
- In a blender or food processor, combine dates, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
- Add sea salt or spices if desired and blend again.
- Adjust consistency with more milk if a thinner sauce is preferred.
- Transfer to a jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
Use coconut milk for a creamier, richer sauce.
Add espresso powder for a coffee-flavored caramel.
Mix in almond or peanut butter for extra indulgence.
Pumpkin pie spice gives it a fall-inspired twist.
Warm gently before serving if you prefer it hot.
