Hi there everybody.
We decided that we're gonna help you with a really fun recipe
that we like to do.
This one is called date caramel.
It's a good recipe if you really want junk food,
but you don't want junk food, if you catch my drift.
So, this is really super simple.
It's almost no ingredients.
That's how it goes.
The first thing we're going to start with is
1/2 of a cup of coconut oil melted.
And what I've put in there,
if you can see that stuff that looks like balsamic vinegar,
that's actually vanilla extract.
So that's going to be a teaspoon of vanilla extract
and a half a cup of coconut oil.
Now the next thing that we've got,
is 8 cups of dates.
Make sure that those are pitted.
you don't want to bite into a pit.
OK, ready to do this one?
Here we've got two cups of almond butter.
If you don't have almond butter,
you can alternatively use tahini or cashew butter.
[ Winter ]: Almond
Next ingredient that we have here is
2/3 cup of coconut cream.
If you can find,
and it's got to be unsweetened,
if you can find the coconut cream,
you know, in a way where it comes in the can,
and you put them in the refrigerator,
then what you'll notice is the cream will separate from that milk
that's underneath it, like the coconut water.
You only want that cream portion of it.
So, again, 2/3 of a cup of coconut cream.
[ Winter ] Barely made it.
And our last ingredient over here,
is 2 very liberal pinches of sea salt.
This is gonna give your date caramel
a salty flavor,
kind of like salted caramel.
When you've got all that,
you're just gonna bring it over and blend it, isn't that easy?
~ Blender Sound ~
Oh my god, that's exactly what I want.
Okay, are you ready?
So once it's all blended,
you're gonna want it to look like this,
You see how it looks kind of like a soft caramel?
It's gonna be really doughy,
that's your consistency.
It's like the consistency of cookie dough.
So it's really sticky.
You're gonna take this and you're gonna put it in a lined tin,
just like a brownie tin,
one of these 9" x 13" type deals.
You're gonna put it in here and then you're gonna press it down
so that it's really even.
We've gotta be careful not to flip that paper.
You can use a spatula,
or if your hands are really clean,
you use your hands to kind of work them down like this.
So after you press it down like this,
you're gonna put it in the refrigerator
for about two to three hours before cutting it,
just like you do brownies.
But into squares that are about two inches by two inches.
You can arrange those on a plate however you want to,
so we're gonna put this in the refrigerator.
Thank you for joining us for the making of one of our favorite recipes.
I hope you'll try it in your household.
[ Teal ]: Bye guys. [ Winter ]: Bye.
