If you have been following me for a while, you probably know how much I LOVE dates. So I am always looking for fun and delicious ways to use them. This is the perfect healthy alternative to the store-bought caramel dip. I promise it tastes like caramel but with less sugar and wholesome ingredients.
If you have kids or love snacking, you need this healthy caramel dip in your fridge at all times. What is great about this recipe is how effortless it is to make this. Great for dipping apples or topping vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients Overview
Medjool dates: Your dates should be soft, not hard. If they are dry or hard, you can soak them in water for about 30 minutes, drain and then use them in the recipe.
Milk of your choice: Soy, oats, or almond milk, ideally unsweetened.
Vanilla extract: A flavor enhancer.
Salt: Just a touch to bring the flavors together.
