Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 Medjool dates
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Halve and remove the pits from the Medjool dates. (You can use other types of dates, but it won’t be as sweet and creamy). If the dates are soft, you can blend them right away. If they’re a bit dry soak them in the water and coconut milk for 30 minutes first. Place the dates in a blender with the water, coconut milk, vanilla, and salt.
- Puree until the dates are a smooth paste. You may need to scrape down the sides of your blender halfway through to get everything to mix nicely.
- Serve right away or store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Notes
- The quality of your blender has a huge impact on how smooth this date sauce will be. I used to have an ordinary blender, but things are definitely smoother now that I’ve upgraded to a high-quality blender!
- This date sauce can be thick (like frosting) or thin (like a glaze). See the section above for how to customize this sauce!
