Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 10 ounces dried pitted dates (I just grabbed the inexpensive kind that my market shelves near the raisins)
- 1 can pure pumpkin puree
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon real vanilla extract
Instruction
- Place dates in a container and cover with filtered water. Put lid on container and leave in the refrigerator overnight.
- Drain water from dates (you can save this water and add it to smoothies if you’d like!), and place in a food processor (I used my mini processor – it was the perfect size) and pulse until a smooth paste is made. (Congrats, you just made Date Paste!)
- If you’re using a mini processor, you’ll want to transfer the date paste into a large bowl at this point. If you’re using a full size processor, go ahead and finish it in there.
- Add remaining ingredients to date paste and blend until smooth (you can use a stick blender, electric mixer, or just continue pulsing in your large food processor).
- Store in your fridge for up to a week, or in your freezer for several months.
- Enjoy!
