Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If the dates have pits, remove them by cutting each date lengthwise and pulling out the pits. You can also chop the dates into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- In a blender, add the pitted dates first. This will help them blend more smoothly.
- Pour in the 1 cup of 2% milk over the dates.
- Add the 3 cups of vanilla ice cream into the blender.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on a medium to high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This might take about 1-2 minutes depending on your blender's power.
- If the shake is too thick, you can add a little more milk, a tablespoon at a time, and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
- Pour the date shake into glasses. You can optionally garnish with a whole date or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an added touch.
- Serve immediately while the shake is cold and refreshing.
Tips:
- For a vegan alternative, substitute the milk and ice cream with almond milk and dairy-free ice cream.
- Ensure the dates are pitted before blending to prevent any damage to your blender.
- For a thicker shake, use less milk or add more ice cream.
- For an extra flavor kick, add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon.
- Soak the dates in warm water for about 10 minutes to make them softer and easier to blend.
- You can garnish with a sprinkle of chopped dates or a drizzle of date syrup for added texture and flavor.
With just a few simple ingredients, you can enjoy a delicious California Date Shake that combines the natural sweetness of dates with the creamy texture of ice cream. This recipe is not only easy to make but also versatile enough to accommodate various dietary preferences. Enjoy your refreshing shake and don’t hesitate to experiment with different flavors and add-ins!
