Date Ice Cream
I just realized this is my forth date recipe in two weeks. Talk about a sweet kind of addiction.
There are only two ingredients in this ice cream. Well, three if you count the salt. Pure date syrup is the main ingredient. It acts as a sugar-free sweetener as well as a flavoring and coloring agent. The other ingredient is coconut milk which gives a delicious undercurrent of coconut flavor that’s fantastic with date.
This is an easy, no-fuss, uber lush ice cream that’s a must-make if you like dates.
The pastry shown with this ice cream is makrout.
Date Ice Cream Recipe
4 to 6 servings
1 (14-ounce) can full fat, unsweetened coconut milk—I used this one.
½ cup date syrup (how to make date syrup)
¼ teaspoon sea salt
Whisk the ingredients together in a large bowl. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream machine and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions. Freeze in a lidded container until set.
Devour!

Wow! Simple and sweet. I love the combination of flavors, and it's also a great idea to use other flavored syrups as well.

Wow this looks wonderful!! You would never believe it only has two ingredients. I've never had date ice cream but am inspired to try it now.

You know, I haven't really experimented much with dates but you're making me think I should! This ice cream sounds fabulous.

I have NO problem at all with you keep sharing your favorite date recipes!. Even thought it may be the same basic ingredient, yet you achieve to surprise us.
I would love (really, would love) to give a try to this. I also would love to have an ice cream machine :(

What an extraordinarily unique flavor…delightful!

You have won me over consistently with your novel ice creams. I have never heard of date syrup – but what a great use of dates to have their natural sweeteners in an icecream – and with coconut milk, nontheless. WILD.
Love it.

I just finished up chopping dates for a dish I'm preparing for company on Friday. Couldn't help but sneak a few, they are like candy! Bet they make a wonderful ice cream.
