Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans Full-fat coconut milk
- 5 pieces Medjool dates
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Ensure the cans of coconut milk have been refrigerated overnight. This helps the cream separate and thicken.
Pit the Medjool dates and soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften, then drain.
Open the cans of coconut milk and scoop the thick cream into a blender. Reserve any remaining coconut water for another use or discard.
Add the softened dates, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the blender with the coconut cream.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. This may take about 2-3 minutes.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding an additional date if necessary, blending again until smooth.
Pour the ice cream base into a loaf pan or a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the container tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.
Scoop and serve the ice cream as desired. Enjoy your Whole30 Coconut Ice Cream!
