Date Caramel Sauce
Serving Size: 12 ounces
DESCRIPTION
This ultra silky date caramel sauce is so rich, creamy, and a much healthier alternative to traditional caramel. It's so simple to make by tossing everything into a blender. Medjool dates lend a natural sweetness and a rich caramel flavor, while coconut cream adds a velvety, extra-indulgent texture. This sauce is perfect for spreading on toast, drizzling over dairy-free ice cream, or serving as a dip with apple slices and strawberries.
INGREDIENTS
- 10 whole Medjool dates soft and pitted at room temperature
- ¼ cup soy milk unsweetened
- ¼ cup maple syrup pure
- 2 tablespoon coconut cream you can remove the cream from a refrigerated can of full fat coconut milk too
- ½ teaspoon salt
METHOD
- Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender till everything is smooth and creamy.
- Taste to adjust flavor, if needed. Add a splash of more plant milk if you desire a thinner consistency.
- Use immediately or refrigerate in an air-tight jar.
NOTES
- Blend in Stages: Start with a lower speed and gradually increase to a higher speed. This helps prevent splattering, making it easier to combine all the ingredients.
- Scrape the Sides: Stop the blender a few times to scrape down the sides. This ensures that all the date pieces are blended, giving the mixture a smooth, creamy texture.
- Chill for Thicker Sauce: The caramel will thicken as it cools in the fridge. If you prefer a thicker sauce, refrigerate it for a few hours before using it.
