Honestly, the best Ice Cream I’ve made! It is made from only 5 ingredients and takes less than 5 minutes (without the freezing time) which makes it the perfekt Summer Snack/dessert to cool you down. From the consistency it’s more like real ice cream instead of a smoothie consistency!
Health facts: Dates
Dates contain many vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants that are good for our body. As a dried fruit, they contain little fat but are very high in calories. Dates are also full of fibre, which is very beneficial for digestion and regulation of blood sugar levels. They are rich in antioxidants that can help prevent diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer, and their natural sweetness makes dates an ideal and healthy alternative to industrial sugar.
Difference between medjool and other dates
The Medjool date is the most popular of all date varieties and is also called the queen of dates. At around 6 cm, it is larger than other types such as Deglet Nour, and is also particularly juicy and very soft. Its distinctive natural sweetness makes it a good alternative to industrial sugar.

Cashew Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 150 ml Oat Milk
- 3 Medjool dates pitted
- 100 g Cashew butter
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ tsp blue spirulina optional
Instructions
- Add 150ml oat milk, 3 medjool dates, 100g Cashewbutter, 1 pinch of salt and optional ½ tsp spirulina to a blender and blend until smooth. I like to have some date pices in my ice cream so I am not blending it too much, but it's up to you!
- Transfer it to a mug/cup (wherever you want to have your ice cream in) and put it for at least for 5 hours in the freezer so it can freeze. Best is overnight though.
- Before you serve the ice cream, take it out of the freezer 10-15 minutes beforehand so that it can thaw a little.
