Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 Medjool dates chopped or ripped into a few pieces
  • 4 scoops vegan vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  • Chop or rip the dates into small pieces and set aside.
  • In a small skillet, heat the olive oil and dates over medium high heat, stirring constantly. Continuing cooking and stirring until dates become slightly crisp and translucent, about 1 to 2 minutes. Immediately remove from heat and pour into a small heat proof bowl.

Notes

Drizzle vegan honey or other sweet syrup over ice cream and add a few roughly chopped pistachio nuts before serving.
