Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 Medjool dates pitted (about 1 cup packed)
- ¼ cup natural peanut butter - about 65g smooth is best
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ - ¾ cup water dairy milk, or non-dairy milk (to adjust for desired consistency)
Instructions
- If dates are dry or hard, soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes, then drain well and pat dry. Remove the pits if needed.
- Add pitted dates, peanut butter, salt, and vanilla to a container with ½ cup of your chosen liquid (water, dairy milk, or non-dairy milk).
- Use a handheld immersion blender to blend until completely smooth. Alternatively use a bender or food processer to combine, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides.
- Add additional liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Use immediately or store in the refrigerator.
Notes
Storage: Store your peanut butter caramel in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. The caramel will thicken when chilled. You can easily bring it back to a smoother consistency by stirring in a little more milk before using.
Tips for success:
For best results, ensure dates are soft and fresh.
If using Deglet Noor dates instead of Medjool, use approximately 24-30 dates and make sure to soak them first.
or a smoother consistency, blend longer rather than adding too much liquid at once.
