Ingredients

1/2 cup dates pitted
1/2 cup hot water
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Soak 1/2 cup pitted dates in hot water for 15 minutes.
Add the soaked (and drained) dates to a food processor along with all the remaining ingredients.
Blend until thick and creamy.

Notes

Soaking hard and firm dates in hot water makes them soft and hence easier to blend. This also makes the caramel really creamy.
To adjust the thickness of your caramel, add 1-2 tablespoons of water.
You can store the caramel (in an air-tight container) in the fridge for 5-6 days.
