Medjool dates naturally have a sweet, caramel flavour, making them the perfect base for this versatile raw salted caramel sauce. It’s a lovely vegan alternative to the predominantly sugar and butter varieties that we may be used to. It takes ice-cream, yoghurt or porridge (plant-based or otherwise) to another level! Make a date to concoct this caramel sauce… She’s sure to be a keeper!
