Substitutions

  • Maple Syrup – If you’re not vegan, you can also use honey. Another option is agave nectar.

Recipe Tips

  • If the nice cream is hard to scoop when you first take it out of the freezer, leave it on the counter for five to ten minutes and it will soften up so you can scoop it.
  • The date water is the water that you soaked the dates in.
  • It’s a good idea to check dates for bugs. With them being so sweet, it’s common for dates to get some small bugs.
