No-Cook CARAMEL in 5 Minutes | No Refined Sugar, No Dairy

Hi everyone! In today's video, I'll show you how to make dairy-free caramel that is sweet, thick and creamy. The first ingredient is medjool dates. There are hundreds of types of dates available, but medjool dates are the best when making caramel because they are soft and juicy and their flavor is very sweet, almost caramel-like. Add the dates to a high-speed blender together with full-fat coconut milk, which will add richness and creaminess and help the dates blend easier. The next ingredient is coconut nectar. Many raw caramel recipes call for a liquid sweetener to increase the viscosity of the caramel. Coconut nectar is one of the stickiest liquid sweeteners and works incredibly well here. Finally, vanilla extract to deepen the flavor and sea salt to balance the sweetness. Blend on high until completely smooth. Transfer the caramel to an airtight container and that's it! Date caramel that is perfect for drizzling, spreading or dipping. As you saw in the video, this caramel is really easy to make and the great thing about it is that Tana wasn't even able to detect the dates in it. So what does it taste like? Exactly like it should, like caramel. I would not be able to tell the difference between this and like a dairy-based, butter-based caramel. There's a huge warm, sweet, buttery flavor like everywhere on the palate. Really good. It lingers for a long time, so the sweetness and that warmth lingers together for a really long time, which I really like. And there's like a I've noticed that when it stays on your tongue, it's just like this really little fascinating tingling sensation, which is cool. It makes it really interesting to eat. It does everything that caramel needs to do though. There is a slight difference in sweetness. The type of sweetness is different compared to like white sugar or brown sugar or fine sugar. And I think that would be like the nectar. It's just something I've never really tasted before, so I can tell there's something slightly different about the sweetness, but very slightly, like I said. So it's delicious. Approved. Yeah. Alright, so I hope you enjoyed this video. If you did, please give me a thumbs up, comment below, subscribe to my channel, and I'll see you next time.
