Ice cream might seem like one of those foods that is impossible to make — especially if you don’t own an ice cream machine. However, even if you don’t have a machine or any way to churn your creation, ice cream is in fact easier to make at home than you think. There are no-churn recipes that make it easy to freeze and scoop your ice cream, and there are even recipes that have you making frozen desserts with bases that aren’t made of cream or sugar; like using bananas, cashews, coconut milk, or yes, even Medjool dates.
Why use cane sugar when Medjool dates can naturally sweeten your ice cream and give it an even thicker and caramel-like texture? Two Medjool dates contain 30 grams of sugar. Despite what you may think from their texture, Medjool dates are actually fresh and contain glucose as well as fructose, a type of natural sugar found in fruits. This means that Medjool dates also add fiber to your sweet treat; about 2 grams of fiber per date.
With so much sweet goodness in each Medjool date, no wonder they make for the perfect sweet base for a homemade ice cream. Here are some of our favorite Medjool date ice cream recipes to make at home, whether you have an ice cream machine or not. Don’t forget to grab a green clamshell of your Natural Delights Fresh Pitted Medjool Dates when you’re at the store; you’re going to need them to make your ice cream oh so sweet!
