Equipment

  • blender
  • Food Processor
  • Spatula
  • Jar or container with lid

Ingredients
  

For the Base

  • Medjool dates (soft and sticky, soaked if firm)
  • Water or milk of choice (almond, oat, or coconut cream)

Flavor Boosters & Add-ins

  • Pinch of sea salt (optional) Brings out caramel notes
  • Vanilla extract, nut butter, or spices (optional) For variations

Instructions
 

  • Pit the Medjool dates. If they feel firm, soak in warm water for 10 minutes and drain.
  • Add dates to a blender or food processor.
  • Slowly add water or milk while blending until smooth, scraping sides as needed.
  • For a pourable sauce, use more liquid; for a thicker dip, use less.
  • Adjust with vanilla, salt, or nut butter to taste.
  • Store in the fridge up to 2 weeks or freeze in cubes for longer storage.

Notes

For a nut-free version, use oat milk. Freeze leftovers in ice cube trays for easy single servings. Stir before using if separation occurs.
