A little note about dates

There are three main types of dates: Fresh (also known as juicy), medjool and dried, pitted medjool dates. Fresh dates and medjool dates are typically bought in a cardboard box in most groceries.

Dates are an amazing healthy alternative to processed sugar, which is often used in sweets. However, dates have lots of fibers, vitamins and minerals and not to forget sweetness. The sweetness can variate and medjool dates will typically have a more caramelly flavour.

When I create a recipe with blended dates, I typically blend some extra and keep a the date cream in a glas in the fridge or in ice cube sizes in the freezer. This way, its always super easy to make a healthy sweet treat, when I have cravings but also feel lazy.
