Date Syrup: A Natural, No-Added-Sugar Sweetener

This date syrup needs only 3 ingredients and 5 minutes to make, and it is a healthy, nutritious alternative to sugar, with a super creamy texture and a wonderful caramel flavor.

It is very similar to the date caramel we use to make our vegan ice cream with date caramel, but since this time the goal is a syrup that can be used at room temperature, and therefore without the risk of crystallizing, its texture is lighter and the result more versatile.

One of the advantages of this healthy sweetener is that it lets us benefit from the fantastic nutrients in dates, enriching our recipes in both flavor and nutritional value.

Nutritionally, dates are an extraordinary source of tryptophan, fiber, carbohydrates, B vitamins (especially B3 and B5), calcium, copper, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium.

For all these reasons, it is an ideal alternative for use in a wide variety of desserts and sweets such as cakes, smoothies, bars, tarts or no-bake cakes, and even for making plant-based milks and horchata.
