Raw Caramel Sauce

Directions

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