Non-Dairy Refined Sugar-Free Caramel Sauce Recipe

Thinking about ditching refined sugar? Nature’s bounty provides all you need to satisfy a sweet tooth in the form of whole foods, with vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other healing properties that allow for a little indulgence that’s better for your body and digestion. For proof, look no further than this delectable Date-Based Sugar-Free Caramel sauce.

Combined with creamy coconut milk, nutritious, plump, and chewy Medjool dates blend into a natural caramel so rich and smooth you’ll never eye the sugary butter original again. Better yet, while dates are a concentrated source of natural sugar, and therefore should be consumed in moderation, they’re considered lower glycemic than refined sugars. Plus, they’re brimming with fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, potassium, iron, and calcium. 

For a delightful twist of extra warm spiciness, we like to infuse our ORGANIC INDIA Tulsi Masala Chai tea into the mix. But if you’d prefer a more classic caramel, feel free to keep it even simpler, foregoing the tea and spices. You can also add a little tahini or nut butter for an extra creamy protein boost if desired.
