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.
