How to Make Date Or Prune Ice Cream

  1. If using dried dates (200g), add 30ml of warm water and chop finely using a food processor.
  2. Add all remaining ingredients to the food processor and blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. **Churn Method:** Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  4. **No-Churn Method:** Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for 1 hour. Remove, stir vigorously to break up ice crystals, and return to the freezer. Repeat this process after another hour. This method will require more frequent stirring for a smoother texture.
  5. If using fresh dates (200g), skip step 1 and proceed directly to step 2.
  6. For a prune variation, substitute 250g of pitted, soft prunes for the dates (skip step 1).
  7. For easier serving, freeze the nice cream in a shallow, narrow container. Once frozen, simply slice and serve.
