Salted caramel sauce is the best topping. Ever. But the butter and sugar can be pretty unwanted. Try this date and peanut butter concoction and you’ll never go back.

My recipe serves 2, but can easily be doubled, or tripled…

1/2 cup dates

1/3 cup water

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla paste

1 tablespoon peanut butter (or more to taste) I used Fix and Fogg’s coffee and maple p.b.

1-4 tablespoons plant milk (I used almond milk)

Simmer the dates in the water for a couple of minutes until they are soft. Put the whole lot in a blender with the salt, vanilla, and peanut butter.

Blend until smooth, then add milk until you get your desired consistency. Great over coconut yogurt, sliced bananas, or licked straight off the spoon.
