These guilt-free date caramels are refined sugar free, made using date paste as the base. It has all the caramelesque sweetness of dates, moderated by a slight touch of sea salt and a slight nutty flavor, and only needs three ingredients to make! Can you guess what they are?
Soften your date paste by microwaving it for 30–60 seconds in 15-second increments, pausing every time to check for softness and making certain it doesn’t burn.
Add all your ingredients to a food processor, blender, or bowl, and mix until well-combined.
Press into a parchment-lined loaf pan and tamp down until flat.
Freeze for 30 minutes or refrigerate for two hours.
Slice into small rectangles, as big or small as you like.
Wrap your rectangles into small pieces of parchment paper and refrigerate in an airtight container for 3–6 months.
