Ingredients
- 6-7 Medjool dates pitted
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cashew butter
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1-2 tablespoons boiling hot water as needed
Instructions
- Soak the dates in hot water for at least 15 minutes, then drain.
- Place the pre-soaked, pitted dates in the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times until the dates are finely chopped. Then turn the food processor on and pour in a tablespoon of hot water to help blend the dates into a paste. Add another tablespoon of water, if needed. You may need to stop and scrape the sides of the food processor a couple times to help the process.
- Turn off the food processor. Add yogurt, vanilla, cashew butter and sea salt. Blend until smooth.
- Serve at room temperature or chilled.
Notes
Makes 1 cup
Soaking Medjool dates will help blending them into a paste.
If you don't have cashew butter, you can swap it for peanut or almond butter.
For a vegan version of this dip, use fairy-free Greek yogurt, such as Kate Hill.
To make this dip nut-free, swap cashew butter for tahini or sun butter.
