Prep Time 15 minutes

Equipment

  • high-speed blender or
  • food processor

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz. medjool dates soft & pitted
  • 1.5 cups water or coconut cream, you may need less if making in a food processor
  • 2 tsp 100% pure vanilla extract not imitation

Instructions
 

  • Add medjool dates, liquid of choice (I use water) and 2 tsp vanilla extract to your high speed blender or food processor.
  • Start at the lowest settings or with a few pulses to break things up and work your way up as the pieces get smaller and smaller. Then turn to high for a minute or two until your date caramel it is well blended and completely smooth. You may have to stop every so often and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula.
  • Using a rubber spatula, scoop into an airtight container and store in the fridge or use immediately.
  • *If your sauce is too watery, add a few extra dates to thicken it up. If it's too thick, add more liquid.
