Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 1 cup medjool dates (pitted)
  • 1/4 cup cashew butter
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt (to taste)
  • plant milk (for thinning)

Instruction

  • Place pitted dates in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the chopping blade or a blender. Pulse to start breaking up the dates, then process on high until a smooth paste forms. Stop and scrape down the sides, as needed. If using a blender, add a little water to facilitate blending.
  • Add cashew butter, vanilla, and sea salt. Process or blend again until smooth. Test the consistency of the caramel. If needed, add a little water or non-dairy milk and blend again. For the smoothie recipe and to use as a dip, leave the caramel a little thicker. If using for drizzling, add enough liquid to reach the desired consistency.
  • Transfer to a jar with tight-fitting lid and store in fridge until ready to use.
