Before the sun slips away, I had to share a delicious sweet that I’ve been enjoying atop dairy-free ice cream all summer: Date Lady Coconut Caramel Sauce.
I actually had the pleasure of trying Date Lady Organic Pure Date Syrup many years ago. It has a rich, deep, and almost coffee-like flavor, and yes, it’s made purely from dates. It’s an awesome natural sweetener that isn’t cheap, but it is a great option for people looking to avoid revined sweeteners. It has a very smooth consistency that’s just a touch thicker than maple syrup, and it has a mellow sweetness that complements baked goods, sauces, and more. It’s also the base for Date Lady Coconut Caramel Sauce.
Date Lady Coconut Caramel Sauce is Vegan, Unrefined, and Organic
The previous version of Date Lady Caramel Syrup was heightened with natural caramel flavor. But their newer coconut caramel sauce shuns all added flavors, and lets the dates shine. It’s rounded out with a touch of coconut cream, vanilla, and sea salt, which adds richness to the taste. If you don’t like dates, then this might not be the dairy-free caramel sauce for you. But if you are date fan, grab a spoon and get ready to drizzle.

I love dates that have “aged” some because of their caramelized factor, but fresh dates are often too “date-y” for me. I’d like to try these products and see what I think. I’ve actually been reading about them for a while.
Thanks for your review, Alisa!
