Soak the medjool dates in boiling hot water for 3-5 minutes, or until softened. If your dates are super fresh and gooey, you may be able to skip this step.
Drain the medjool dates and remove pits.
Add all ingredients to a high powered blender and blend until completely smooth.
Storage
Store caramel in refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Notes
If your medjool dates are older and dried out, a longer soak time may be required.
You can substitute full fat coconut milk instead of coconut cream and agave nectar for the maple syrup.
