Ingredients
Directions
- Prepare the Date Mixture:
- In a small saucepan, combine the chopped dates with 2 tablespoons of water. Simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the dates soften and break down. Let it cool slightly.
- Mix the Olive Oil and Sweeteners:
- Stir in the Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil, honey or maple syrup (if using), and a pinch of sea salt with the date mixture until everything is well combined.
- Soften the Ice Cream:
- Let the store-bought vanilla ice cream sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to mix.
- Combine the Ice Cream and Date Mixture:
- In a large bowl, take the softened ice cream and fold in the date and olive oil mixture. Stir gently to incorporate the dates and olive oil throughout the ice cream. Be sure not to overmix; you want to keep a marbled effect.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Scoop the ice cream and serve, enjoying the sweet, creamy, and slightly fruity combination of dates and olive oil!
- Drizzle olive oil and flaky salt.
