This simple and healthy date sauce is creamy caramel perfection. With only 2 ingredients, it’s easy to make. Use it as a frosting, glaze, or dip. 

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 large Medjool dates, pits removed
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • 1/2 cup of whipping cream
  • Flavors, see above

Instructions

  1. Place dates and water in a blender. Pulse until you have a smooth paste.
  2. Add in the whipping cream and any additional flavors. I like to use cultured whipping cream for a probiotic boost! Either stir in the cream or continue to pulse the blender, depending on how thick you want the caramel sauce. Whipping cream will thicken the more it is blended. Stirring in the cream makes it a sauce. Blending in the cream makes it more like a thick, whipped frosting. (See the section above for more details).
  3. Store the date sauce in a jar in the fridge and use it within 1 week.

Notes

  • It is important to use the large, soft Medjool dates in this recipe. Other dried dates won’t blend as nicely and won’t be as caramelly sweet.
  • A high-quality blender is needed to get a super smooth sauce. But don’t worry if your blender isn’t quite up to the task, I made this for years in a low-quality hand-me-down.
