Ingredients
- 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk
- 10 pieces Medjool dates (pitted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, soak the pitted Medjool dates in warm water for 5-10 minutes to soften them. Drain thoroughly.
Step 2
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked dates, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Step 3
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed.
Step 4
Pour the blended mixture into a medium saucepan and place over medium heat.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to avoid burning, and cook for 10-15 minutes. The caramel will thicken as it cooks.
Step 6
Once the desired consistency is reached, remove the saucepan from heat and let the caramel cool for a few minutes. Note that it will thicken further as it cools.
Step 7
Transfer the caramel to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently as needed before serving.
