Caramel Sauce

1/2 cup cashew butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup DATE-PASTE
2 tsps vanilla extract
1/8 tsp sea salt

• Place all ingredients in a blender & process until smooth.

Will keep for 2 weeks in the fridge. Once refrigerated, the sauce will need to be warmed (to at least room temp) before serving in order to obtain the proper consistency.

~ There’s not too much to the date paste. It’s only dates blended with water so it’s no big deal to make.
