Salted Date Caramel Sauce Ingredients You'll Need: 1 cup large dates (about 12), covered with water, and simmered or microwaved for 1 to 2 minutes and then allowed to soak until very soft Approximately 2/3 cup non-dairy milk (we used regular soymilk) 2 tablespoons brown sugar Optional: 2 teaspoons coconut oil 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, or more to taste Instructions: Process all ingredients together in food processor, scraping down sides as necessary, until very thick and creamy.
