Date Caramel

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 15 dates
• 1/2 cups full-fat coconut milk
• 2 tsp vanilla paste or extract
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Add the dates to a small bowl and cover with boiling water for 15 minutes to soften.
2. Using tongs or a spoon (or your hands if the dates are cool enough), transfer the waterlogged dates to a high-powered blender with the coconut milk. They don’t need to be totally drained, but too much water will result in a thinner consistency than you want. Blend until smooth, adding more coconut milk if needed, and pour into a jar.
3. Stir in the vanilla, salt, and cinnamon.
4. Cool completely, then cover and refrigerate.
