Ingredients
Scale
- 20 Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 tablespoon hot water, add more as needed
Instructions
- Add pitted dates (no seed) to a food processor. I tried the high-speed blender route and the food processor works better to get the creamy texture with the least amount of water added in.
- Pulse on low until small bits/pieces remain.
- Stream in hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time, while the blender is on until a paste is made. Scrape down the sides of the food processor with a spatula to help the process. As mentioned, if the food processor bowl is large it is harder to have the dates mix together. Not suggesting you add more dates, but just something to keep in mind for the success of the recipe. And that’s why I didn’t prefer using the blender!
- Watch the amount of hot water you’re adding. 1 tablespoon at a time. I ended up using just 3 1/2 tablespoons. You’re looking to form a paste and don’t want it too loose. Key point – the amount will depend on your machine and size/moistness of your dates.
- Refrigerate covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze whatever you think you might not eat to have for later!
