- 5 dates soaked in hot water for 15 mins
- 1 to 2 Tbsp chocolate hazelnut butter or hazelnut butter
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp instant coffee/espresso or prepared espresso to taste

- vegan caramel or date hazelnut vanilla caramel for topping
Instructions
- In a blender, add the non dairy milk, pitted and soaked dates, hazelnut butter, coffee, vanilla and salt and blend until until smooth. blend a few cycles so the dates are incorporated well. Add 1 tsp cocoa powder if using plain nut butter.
- For a hot macchiato, heat up the blended mixture to desired temperature and serve.
- Top with whipped coconut cream and vegan caramel sauce.
To make Date hazelnut Caramel:
- Soak 5 to 6 pitted dates in hot water for 15 minutes. Blend with 1 Tbsp of hazelnut butter, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract and a little water to a smooth consistency. Drizzle this on the macchiato before serving
Notes
*Don't like the nut butter in coffee, use 1/2 tsp hazelnut extract
*For Caramel Macchiato: Omit the hazelnut butter. Add more coffee to taste. For Iced Macchiato, replace half the non dairy milk with non dairy milk cubes or ice cubes Nutritional values based on one serving

September 26, 2014 at 5:09 pmYum yum yum! I have yet to use dates as caramel. One of my favorite homemade lattes is by Allyson Kramer, and it’s a gingerbread latte! The recipe for it can be found here – http://www.allysonkramer.com/2012/12/gingerbread-latte-dairy-free/

serve using this best frothing pitcher I found on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Cafe-Luxe-Frothing-Espresso-Machines/dp/B00RM2JLW2/ref=sr_1_8?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1442147875&sr=1-8&keywords=frothing+pitcher .

February 19, 2017 at 5:37 amWhat a lovely idea for using nut butters. I drink hot milks several times a day in winter. It’s cold and raining here so I’m going to get my lovely new hazelnut butter out of the fridge right now and get warmed up. Thank you for your inspiration Richa
