Overnight caramel hazelnut vanilla bean milk is a delicious and nutritious plant-based beverage that combines the rich flavors of hazelnuts and almonds with the sweetness of dates and the warm spice of cinnamon. This dairy-free milk is perfect for adding to your coffee, cereal, smoothies, or simply enjoying on its own. By soaking the nuts and dates overnight, you ensure a smoother, creamier texture and a more intense flavor.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Pit the dates and cut them into smaller pieces. If your dates are quite firm, you can soak them in warm water for about 15-20 minutes to soften them.
- After soaking, drain and rinse the hazelnuts and almonds thoroughly under cool running water.
- Add the soaked nuts to a high-speed blender along with the water. Blend on high for about 1-2 minutes until the nuts are fully broken down and the mixture looks creamy.
- Add the chopped dates, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the blender. Blend again for another minute until the dates and spices are fully incorporated.
- Pour the blended mixture through a nut milk bag, cheesecloth, or a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl or pitcher. Gently squeeze or press the mixture to extract as much milk as possible. The remaining pulp can be discarded or reserved for use in other recipes, such as smoothies or baked goods.
- Transfer the strained milk into a clean glass jar or bottle. Seal tightly and refrigerate.
- Chill before serving. Shake well before each use, as natural separation may occur. Enjoy this delicious, creamy caramel hazelnut vanilla bean milk on its own, over cereal, or in your favorite recipes.
Tips:
- Soak the nuts and dates for at least 8 hours to ensure a smooth texture and better flavor extraction.
- Use a high-speed blender to achieve the creamiest consistency possible.
- For a sweeter milk, add more dates as per your taste.
- Store the milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
- Shake or stir well before using, as natural separation may occur.
