Notes

Remember to freeze your ice cream machine bowl the night before making ice cream.
Medjool dates work best, because they're soft.
Use any dairy-free milk beverage for the milk from a carton if nuts or soy are not a concern.
Don't leave your mixture processing in the ice cream maker too long. It can begin to go soft again.
