How to Make Date Paste - The healthiest & BEST natural sweetener!
Here is how I make date paste, also know as "nature's candy" - my favorite natural sweetener! I LOVE dates - they are an amazing alternative to all the artificial / processed sweeteners out there.
Stevia is the big "it" sweetener right now but I have never used it. Even if it is natural, it is still processed.
Dates are a whole food. They are packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are super sweet and very versatile. Date paste also makes a great vegan caramel replacement.
How to make date paste:
-Cover desired amount of dates (I did 1 cup) with water and let sit for at least 6 hours or overnight... and always be sure to double check for pits
-Add dates and some soaking water to a high powered blender and blend until smooth and creamy
-Generally, I use about 1/4 cup of soaking water for every 1 cup of dates
-You can store extra date paste in the fridge for one week
