Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/3 cup date puree
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients in the jar of a blender; blend until thick and well combined. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen dates: Fresh dates yield the best flavor, but frozen dates can also be used. If using frozen dates, thaw them before using.
  • Remove the pits from the dates: Using a sharp knife, make a slit down the side of each date and remove the pit. You can also use a date pitter to remove the pits.
  • Use a powerful blender: A high-powered blender is necessary to get a smooth and creamy shake. If you don't have a powerful blender, you can soak the dates in warm water for 15 minutes before blending.
  • Adjust the sweetness: The sweetness of the shake will vary depending on the ripeness of the dates. If the dates are very sweet, you may want to reduce the amount of sugar or honey that you add. You can also add a bit of salt to balance the sweetness.
  • Get creative with toppings: You can top the date shake with a variety of toppings, such as whipped cream, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit. You can also drizzle the shake with honey or chocolate syrup.

Conclusion:

Date shakes are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are also a good source of nutrients, including fiber, potassium, and antioxidants. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious date shake at home. So next time you're looking for a sweet and healthy snack, give this recipe a try.
