Note
Date Caramel Sauce
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted (about 10-12 dates)
- 3/4 cup to 1 cup warm water (adjust for desired consistency)
- A pinch of salt (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
1. Soak the Dates- If your dates are not soft, soak them in hot water for about 10-20 minutes to soften them up. This will make them easier to blend.
2. Blend the Ingredients- Drain the dates and add them to a blender. Start by adding 3/4 cup of warm water, the pinch of salt, and the vanilla extract. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Add more water if necessary, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
3. Adjust to Taste- Taste the caramel sauce and adjust the sweetness or saltiness to your liking. If you prefer a deeper flavor, you can add a little more vanilla or a small amount of maple syrup.
4. Strain for Smoothness (Optional)- For an extra smooth texture, you can strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve.
5. Store- The date caramel sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
