Equipment

  • 1 high powered blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pitted medjool dates
  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup hot water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dates

  • Remove any pits from dates if not already pitted.

Soak The Dates

  • Place the pitted dates in a heatproof bowl.
    Pour the hot water over the dates to soften them.
    Let the dates soak in the hot water for 15-20 minutes. This will make them easier to blend into a smooth caramel.

Blend the ingredients

  • After soaking the dates, transfer them along with the soaking water to a high-speed blender, then add the remaining ingredients to the high-speed blender.
    Blend at a low speed and gradually increase to high.
    Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender.

Adjust the Consistency

  • If the date caramel is too thick, you can add more hot water 1 tbsp at a time.
