Description

Sweet from the dates, smooth and creamy from the vegan ice cream, this 3-Ingredient Date Shake is the epitome of summer and is too good to pass up on!


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups vegan vanilla ice cream
  • 1/2 cup Medjool dates, pitted* (see notes)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • Optional: pinch of salt
  • Optional: pinch of ground nutmeg

Toppings (Optional)

  • Vegan whipped cream (homemade or store bought)
  • Cherry* (see notes)
  • Mint

Instructions

  1. Add all of the ingredients for the shake into a high speed blender and blend until smooth, or about 30-50 seconds.
  2. Pour the shake into 2 small glasses (or 1 large glass) and add toppings as desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Other date varieties may be used, although they may alter the flavor and texture of the shake. Some dates have a thicker skin and will results in more texture, but nonetheless, other varieties of dates will still work.
  • We opted not to use maraschino cherries as most are not vegan as they contain carmine (also known as Natural Red 4 or “added color”) which is an insect-derived red food coloring that comes from cochineal bugs. If you would like to use vegan maraschino cherries, check out this brand.
  • Have fun with this shake and bring a twist of your own! Fresh fruit or even cacao powder would be great additions!
  • For the glasses, we melted about 1/4 cup of vegan chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl chocolate in 30-second increments until smooth, mixing after each increment. Once melted, you can either dip the glass into the chocolate or use a small spoon to carefully distribute the chocolate round the rim, working quickly so that it does not harden. Once you have covered the rim, over a medium bowl, sprinkle on chopped peanuts, sprinkles or topping of your choice. Set it into the refrigerator to set, for about 5 minutes.
