Get You A Spread That Can Do It All

From cookies to cupcakes, this date paste is versatile enough to sweeten and moisten any dessert. When added to Paleo puddings and sauces, it creates a thicker and creamier base. You can even replace honey or maple syrup in some recipes by swapping in this paste instead.

Helpful Tips To Get Started:

• Experiment with different flavors. You can mix in other dried fruits like apricots, figs, cranberries, or raisins. Just make sure to soak them with the dates and add a ¼ cup of water for every cup of dried fruit.
• Give your dates time to soak. Allow the dates to soak in warm water for at least 30 minutes or overnight. The more time you allow them to soak, the softer they’ll become once they’re ready to blend.
• Serve immediately or enjoy later. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to two weeks or store in the freezer for up to two months.
