Description
A creamy and rich Date Caramel with so many uses! No added sugar, just dates, water, salt and a food processor. Done in 5 minutes. And so much better for you than refined sugar caramel due its nutrients.
Use it as snack, to dip apples into it, on Banoffee Protein Mousse Pie or in Protein Banoffee Pie Yoghurt. And once you’ve tried it, I’m sure you’ll think of a million more ways to enjoy it. Of course you could simply eat it straight from the jar by the spoonful. I sure have!
Ingredients
- 10 Medjool dates, stones removed (soaked for 10min in hot water)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 tsp salt (or more to taste)
Instructions
- Drain the dates
- Add dates, water and salt to the small bowl of your food processor. Process until you have a creamy caramel. Depending on your dates and how dry they were to begin with, you may have to add a little more water.
- Taste and add more salt if you like.

You can use it on my Banoffee Protein Mousse Pie or the Banoffee Protein Yoghurt, dip fruits into it or just spoon it right out of the jar. It keeps for more than a week in the fridge (I honestly don’t know how long, as it’s usually gone long before), so if you want to make said pie, you can prepare it ahead of time.
This makes more than you need for the pie, as otherwise the food processor has a hard time pureeing the dates. But then, I’m sure it won’t go to waste. 😉
