Notes

So Good Healthy Date Caramel
Easy, 3-ingredient caramel made with creamy puréed dates, coconut cream with a touch of vanilla extract for a healthy alternative to caramel made with sugar and dairy. 
Date caramel is extremely versatile and can be used in a number of different ways. The recipe is so easy, softened dates blitzed together with coconut cream and a dash of vanilla - so simple but, oh my goodness, it’s so good.
Dates are considered super healthy because they are packed with nutrients, including fiber, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor plant compounds. In addition, they are low on the glycemic index (don’t spike blood sugar) and support bone and brain health.
A versatile, naturally sweetened, raw caramel perfect for adding caramel flavor to a variety of dishes. You do need to keep a jar of this deliciousness in your fridge so you can add a dollop to EVERYTHING!
