Ingredients

  • 16 Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 to 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

  1. Add the pitted dates, sea salt, vanilla extract, and 3/4 cup almond milk to a high-powered blender or food processor.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, with no date pieces remaining.
  3. If the caramel is too thick, add more almond milk 1–2 tablespoons at a time and blend again until desired consistency is reached.
  4. Taste and adjust consistency or seasoning if needed. Use immediately or store for later.

Notes

  • Soak dates in warm water for 30 minutes if they are dry or firm before blending.
  • Add cinnamon, cocoa powder, or nut butter for flavor variations.
  • Use oat milk or coconut milk for a nut-free version.
  • Customize the thickness depending on how you plan to use it.
