I came home one day to my little sister Nora (we call her Noodle) creating a new concoction to satisfy her intense sugar tooth. As per my request, she experimented with a vegan or plant-based caramel! This caramel is perfect to blend into banana nice-cream or to top off anything sweet!

What makes this caramel so amazing is that it is made with all natural sugars and is dairy free!! You can also whip it up in a moments notice for when those late-night cravings hit you hard.

Soooooo.. lets get into this recipe already!!

Vegan Date Caramel

makes around 1 cup

Ingredients:

• about 8 dates (pitted)
• 1/2 cup nut milk of your choice, I used coconut
• 1 tsp salt
• 1-2 TBSP nut butter- I used peanut
• 1 cup hot water

Directions:

1. place pitted dates into a bowl and submerge them into the hot water- let soak for anywhere from 5 – 20 minutes. (the longer you soak the smoother the caramel will be)
2. add the dates + half of the hot water from soaking into the blender
3. add the salt + nut butter followed with half of the nut milk
4. begin to blend!
5. gradually add more and more milk to attain the desired texture.
6. blend until extremely smooth then taste!
7. store in a mason jar or a squeezieeee bottle!
