- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
Directions
Step 1
Start by soaking the pitted Medjool dates in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften them.
Step 2
Drain the dates and place them in a blender or food processor.
Step 3
Add 2 cups of full-fat coconut milk and 1 cup of unsweetened coconut cream to the blender with the dates.
Step 4
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 0.25 teaspoon of salt to the mixture.
Step 5
Blend all ingredients together until smooth and creamy, ensuring the dates are completely broken down.
Step 6
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary, considering no sugar is added.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually around 15-20 minutes.
Step 8
In the last 5 minutes of churning, add 0.5 cup of shredded unsweetened coconut for texture.

Once churned, transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 3-4 hours to firm up.

Before serving, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to make scooping easier.
