Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Pitted Medjool dates, chopped
- 0.75 cup Pecans, toasted and chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Chill a mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before starting.
In the chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand or stand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
In a separate large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until smooth.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a spatula. Take care to retain as much air as possible for a light and fluffy texture.
Once combined, fold in the chopped dates and toasted pecans, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
Scoop and serve the ice cream straight from the freezer. Enjoy!
