Today I have a few more things that can make your weekend even more special! This time I’ve remade some syrups that will make your Sunday morning coffee awesome!
Both the fat-free caramel sauce and the chocolate syrup are going to shock you with just how simple and easy they are. It doesn’t hurt that you can make them thinner or thicker or even the amount of sweetness to suit you.
To make your salted caramel mocha, just add a few teaspoons of each sauce to a piping hot cup of coffee. You can add in some coconut creamer or unsweetened nondairy milk to keep it sugar free. Stir well and sit back and watch the sun rise or set while you sip on your guilt-free treat!
The caramel is made with dates, vanilla and unsweetened non-dairy milk. You can add a pinch of salt if you want to make yours nice and salty, or leave it out, if you are on a salt restricted diet. I know it seems like it wouldn’t taste like caramel, but I promise you it does.
Fat-free Date Caramel Sauce (Vegan)
Ever wish you could have a guilt-free caramel sauce with no added oil or refined sugar? This magic treat is for you!
Ingredients
- 15 pitted dates, chopped
- 1 cup So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- pinch salt, optional
Instructions
- If you have a Vitamix or other powerful blender take all the ingredients and puree until smooth.
- But if you have a not-so-powerful blender then cook all the ingredients for 15 minutes over medium-low heat.
- This should soften the dates enough for your blender to puree the mixture until it's smooth.

Hi, visiting from STHW Link Party. This looks great! I just discovered carob powder and have been making all kinds of things. Do you think it would work instead of the cocoa? Regardless I’m going to try it and especially want to make the carmel sauce for my son. Thanks!
Kathy Hester says
I think carob powder should work. Please let me know how it goes! 🙂

Hello! Thank you for creating these healthy versions of what I crave most, I’m so excited to try both the caramel and mocha sauce out. How long do both sauces keep in the fridge? I don’t drink coffee every day and I travel frequently. Thanks!
Kathy Hester says
I’d say they both would keep about 1 week.
