Description

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (90 g) of dates, pitted
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) hot water
• 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) light canned coconut milk*
• 1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract

Directions

• Add the dates and hot water to a high-speed blender or food processor. If your dates are a little dry, allow them to soak for 10 - 15 minutes so that theyll be easier to blend. Otherwise, process oh high until the dates have broken down and turned into a smooth paste, scraping down the sides of your blender as necessary.
• Add the coconut milk and vanilla extract, and continue processing until everything is well combined and the mixture becomes smooth.
• Transfer to an airtight container. You can run the creamer through a fine mesh strainer to ensure no bigger pieces of dates remain, but it shouldnt be necessary with a high-speed blender. Store in the fridge for up to a week. Creamer will thicken as it sits.
