Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces (pitted) Medjool dates
- 2 cups Vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
- (for garnish) Whipped cream (optional)
- (for garnish) Chopped dates (optional)
Instructions
Pit the Medjool dates if they are not already pitted. Chop them into smaller pieces for easier blending if desired.
In a blender, combine the pitted dates, vanilla ice cream, milk, vanilla extract, and ice cubes.
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Taste the shake and adjust the sweetness or thickness, if necessary. Add more milk for a thinner shake or more ice cream for a thicker consistency.
Pour the shake into chilled glasses.
Optional: Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped dates for an extra touch of sweetness and flavor.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon and enjoy!
