One of my NEW Favorite recipes! This recipe is originally from Baked by Melissa, and it is sooo good. You just have to try it to believe how good it is. It has such a cookie dough vibe to it, and is delicious dipped with cookies or sliced apples, or honestly by the spoonful!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of dates (make your life easy and get the pitted kind)
• 1/2 cup of coconut milk
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Directions:

1. Cover the dates with boiling water and let sit for 15 minutes. This will soften the dates.
2. With a slotted spoon, remove the dates and add to a high powered blender (I have a vitamix). Reserve the date soaking liquid in case you need to thin out your ‘caramel’ later.
3. Add the coconut milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt to the blender. Blend on medium speed until blended. Mine took less than 2 minutes.
4. The texture should be thick, and it will thicken more once chilled, but you can always thin it out with the reserved date soaking liquid to achieve your desired consistence.
5. Enjoy!
