Homemade Vanilla-Date Coffee Creamer

Ingredients

• 1 can Reduced-fat coconut milk (The entire can; the creator prefers Trader Joe’s coconut milk made with coconut and water only.)
• Salt (A pinch)
• 0.5 tbsp Vanilla extract (The creator suggests about this amount, or vanilla bean or vanilla paste to taste.)
• 2 Dates (Soaked in hot water until soft; the creator uses two and suggests adding more for a sweeter creamer.)

Steps

1. 1

   Add the entire can of coconut milk to a blender cup.

2. 2

   Add a pinch of salt.

3. 3

   Add vanilla. The creator suggests about ½ tablespoon of vanilla extract or paste, or vanilla bean; adjust to taste.

4. 4

   Soak the dates in hot water until soft, then add two dates to the blender cup. Add more if you prefer a sweeter creamer.

5. 5

   Secure the lid and blend until the mixture is creamy.

6. 6

   Pour the creamer into a container of your choice.

Notes

The creator also mentions maple syrup or coconut sugar as alternative sweeteners. No storage duration or serving amount is specified.
