Recipe Directions

1. In a food processor, process together tahini, maple syrup, dates, sea salt, and vanilla till dates are fully blended in (it’s nice to soak dried dates in lemon water for an hour before mixing in).

2. Dip with sliced green apples.

Holy sweet tooth luxury! This is a dangerous recipe to make more of if you are alone in the house. Really much better than sad caramel sauce.

Adjust measurements to your own sweet/salty/tart tooth. Dip goes best with tart green apples.

They have Apple-Pears at my Asian Market where I get my cheap coconuts from. This sauce will be amazing with them, and regular pears too. Maybe add a spoonful of Maca? (I'm on a Maca kick right now) Oooooh! Can't wait!

I'm luring a friend of mine into rawism. I made a great lunch of various raw recipes amd made the caramel sauce and served with Granny Smith apples for dessert. Her and I were in heaven. Thanks for this wonderfully mouth watering dessert.Definately a keeper.

Some responses...

IN REGARD TO HARDENING IN THE FRIDGE/FREEZER...it could never make it to the fridge cause I scarf it down immediately. If someone does make a recipe that hardens into a carmel shell then please post! (maybe with some cacao butter or coconut oil to firm up?)

YES, I USED MAPLE SYRUP - this is the only recipe I will allow it!!!! (sooooo worth it though)

IN REGARD TO MAKING MY OWN TAHINI - I have used both jarred raw tahini (ARTISANA BRAND) and my own in my Champion. Either is good, but not roasted!

I was stupid (or at least absent minded) and went to the store to purchase the tahini and thought there was only the roasted kind to I got it. When I was almost finished making the sauce I realized I went to the wrong food section and that the tahini was in the refrigerated section. As you might guess my sauce was uneatable as it was gross. Let this be a lesson to you all.

Also, by maple do you mean maple syrup?

Hi Linda,

the apples are just for dipping.

WARNING TO ALL - it's addictive (i had to ban myself from buying more tahini)
