[RECIPE] dulce no leche

Here is the recipe for the sweet filling we use in our sticky date cookies. Eat it by the spoonful, on toast, or use it as a filling for your next tart!

Cashews allow us to mimic the texture and cooking properties of traditional dairy products, and this is just another great example of that. A high speed blender is necessary to achieve smooth creaminess, although this recipe can be made using a food processor, as long as you don't mind a grainier texture (the flavour will not be affected).

Maple syrup gives us a slightly healthier alternative to canned products full of highly refined white sugar, plus it lends so much flavour!
