Date paste is a natural sweetener with fibre and essential minerals including iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. It has a smooth, caramel-esque flavour and texture!

2cupsdatespitted
¾cupwater
Instructions
Microwave at 1 minute intervals.
Mash with a fork in between.
Once the dates are soft and it’s starting to look like caramel, mash, mash, mash!
The goal is to end up with a thick paste (see photos). If your paste seems too watery, microwave longer to allow some water to evaporate.
Alternatively, for an even smoother paste, blend in high speed blender or food processor. It's not absolutely necessary but it does make for a smoother paste!
