It may have no added sugar, but dates naturally contain sugars. Dates provide the spread’s sweetness, so “sugar-free” in the product name should not be taken to mean that it contains no sugars at all.
Sugar-free date cocoa spread is generally made with dates and cocoa. Some recipes also use nuts, nut butter, or oil for a smoother texture, so ingredients vary between homemade versions and products.
It can avoid added sugar when dates are the only sweetener, but that does not make it sugar-free or automatically healthier in every respect. It also tastes more of dates and usually has a different texture from Nutella.
Blend soft, pitted dates with cocoa until smooth, adding a little warm water if the mixture is too thick. For a creamier texture, blend in nut butter or soaked nuts; adjust the cocoa to taste.
Spread it on toast, swirl it into oatmeal, or serve it with apple or banana slices. It can also be used as a filling for simple homemade snacks, though its date flavor will come through in the finished dish.
Keep it in a clean, tightly closed container in the refrigerator after opening. Homemade spread should also be refrigerated; discard it if you notice an unusual smell, mold, or a change in appearance.
Yes, you can use it as a filling or swirl in baked goods, but it may not behave like chocolate or a sugar-based spread. Its moisture and date sweetness can change the texture and sweetness of the recipe.
It can, because dates supply carbohydrates and naturally occurring sugars. People managing diabetes should account for the portion within the meal; a clinician or dietitian can help adapt it to an individual plan.
The spread may be gritty because the dates are dry or the blender has not broken them down fully. Soften the dates in warm water before blending, then process longer and scrape down the sides of the blender.
Usually not. Dates contribute a substantial amount of carbohydrate, and leaving out added sugar does not make a date-sweetened spread low in carbohydrates.

Sugar-free date cocoa spread combines dates and cocoa in a sweet, spreadable mixture, with dates providing the sweetness instead of added sugar. It has a rich cocoa flavour balanced by the fruitiness of dates, and a soft consistency that works well on toast.
Enjoy it at breakfast on bread, spooned over porridge or pancakes, or paired with sliced fruit as a snack. Its carbohydrates come largely from the dates, while it also provides 9.2 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter serving, use a thin layer or spread a little on apple or pear slices; it also suits plant-based diets.
Medium
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
