Ingredients
- 2 cans (13.5 oz each) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup medjool dates, pitted
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Add the medjool dates and water to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the dates are soft and the water is mostly absorbed, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
Transfer the softened dates and any remaining liquid to a blender. Add one can of coconut milk, almond butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend until you achieve a smooth and creamy mixture.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the second can of coconut milk and the coconut oil until well combined.
Step 4
Combine the blended date mixture with the coconut milk and coconut oil mixture in a medium saucepan.
Step 5
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil.
Step 6
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 7
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 8
Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
Step 9
Serve your delicious Whole30 butterscotch ice cream as a satisfying and healthy treat.
