Raw Caramel Sauce

Ingredients

• 8 whole Medjool Dates
• Soaked In Just Enough Water To Cover For 30 Minutes
• 13 cups Plus 1 Tablespoon Raw Maple Syrup
• 1 Tablespoon Raw Coconut Butter
• 3 Tablespoons Date Water
• 1- 1/2 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

Instructions

1. Remove the dates from the water after soaking them, but keep the water handy because youll need it as well.
2. In a food processor or good blender, process the dates until you reach a soft paste consistency.
3. Add the coconut butter, syrup and reserved date water, 1 tablespoon at a time until it starts to come together.
4. Add the vanilla and pulse well until it is smooth.
5. This sauce was made for dipping, so I didnt want it too runny.
6. If you want this for pouring over a dish, you could add extra date water to reach your desired consistency.
7. Enjoy!
8. Note: You could also substitute up to half of the maple syrup with raw honey for a healthy (and sometimes less expensive) substitute.
9. But dont substitute all, because the maple flavor is key for that great caramel flavor!
