Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the raw hazelnuts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast them in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and their skins start to crack.
Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Once cooled, place them in a clean kitchen towel and rub them to remove most of the skins. It's okay if some bits of skin remain.
Add the skinned hazelnuts to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend them until a fine meal forms, then continue blending until a creamy hazelnut butter forms, about 2-3 minutes, scraping the sides as necessary.
Add the pitted dates, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Once churned, transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for about 2-4 hours until firm.
Before serving, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop and enjoy your Whole30 hazelnut ice cream!
