Date Caramel

5 from 1 rating
Hannah Kling
This one ingredient Date Caramel comes together in just under 15 minutes and is the perfect swap for standard caramel. Once the dates are blended, you create this delicious fluffy texture that tastes amazing in desserts!
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 1 cup date caramel

Ingredients  

  • 1 cup about 15 medjool dates (pit removed)
  • 2 cups boiling water

Instructions

  • Remove the pit from each date and place them in a medium bowl.
  • Pour boiling water over the dates and let rest for 10 minutes. Remove dates from water but reserve some of it on the side.
  • Add dates to a food processor and blend for about 3-5 minutes. Slowly add in that reserved date water, one tablespoon at a time until the mixture is well blended, light and fluffy.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use medjool dates for best results, these tend to be softer and have a more natural caramel like flavor in my opinion, however, any date will work.
  • A food processor works the best for this recipe
