Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup Medjool dates*, pitted
- 1/2 cup milk, divided
- 1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream (vegan, if desired)
- 1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg or ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Soak the dates in 1/4 cup of the milk for 10 minutes.
- Add dates along with the milk to blender. Blend for several seconds until integrated into a paste but the dates are still chunky.
- Add the remaining milk, ice cream and nutmeg or cinnamon. Pulse until just smooth. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
*You can also use the smaller and less sweet deglet noor dates, but we prefer the caramel toffee stickiness of the Medjool date here.
