Ingredients

8 oz dates pitted
2 cans coconut milk organic
1 stick grassfed butter or 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
3 egg yolks

Instructions

Place the coconut milk and dates into a container and soak in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours or up to three days. Skip this step if you bought the mushier dates on Amazon.
Place all ingredients in the blender and put it on high speed for about a minute. When you think you are done blending, go a little longer. It will turn out creamier this way.
Put it in your ice cream maker for 25 minutes or in the freezer overnight, if you do not have an ice cream maker.
Serve it up and enjoy!

Notes

Soak the dates at least overnight before making this recipe. This will ensure delicious and soft dates that blend well.
This recipe uses raw eggs. Always make sure you get your eggs from a reputable source. We only use farm fresh organic pastured eggs. If those are unavailable in your area, you can purchase pasteurized eggs.
This can be made dairy free by using coconut milk and swapping out the butter for coconut oil.
Add in shaved chocolate to make this double chocolate chip ice cream. Yum!
