Preparation

Step 1

Combine the coconut milk and chopped dates in your food processor and process on high until the dates are evenly incorporated and no chunks remain. Add in the remaining ingredients and process to your desired consistency. (I left just a few small chunks of cherry in my ice cream, just for some textural variety.) Place the mixture in your ice cream maker and freeze according to your manufacturer’s instructions. Store in the freezer for a few more hours to get a good, solid ice cream consistency (if you can wait that long), and then enjoy. Nick and I found it to be an ideal treat to share on the back porch at the end of a hot summer day.
