This might sound weird, but this stuff tastes like the real deal. It doesn’t keep for long, but once you taste it, it won’t last! You will not miss sugary caramel once you try this.

Makes about 1 cup

Ingredients

• 1 cup soft Medjool dates, pitted
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, or more to taste
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup almond milk, plus extra for desired texture
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Directions

Soak the dates in filtered water 2 to 3 hours, until soft.

Combine all of the ingredients in the blender, and blend until smooth and creamy, adding extra almond milk if necessary to facilitate blending.

Taste as you go. Adjust with salt and lemon if needed. Chill before serving.

Serve with sliced fruit, or thin with water to drizzle over baked goods, oatmeal, cereal, etc.
