Steps

1

First, soak the dates in warm water or leave them in tap water overnight to soften, then blend them into a paste.
2

To blanch the almonds: Place the almonds in a small saucepan, cover with water, and heat over low until just boiling. Remove the skins carefully—be careful not to burn yourself!
3

Add the dry ingredients first, then the liquids, and blend everything in a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy.
4

Enjoy guilt-free on multigrain bread for breakfast or whenever you crave something sweet!
