Notes
Note: For a really smooth nice cream base with bigger chunks of dates, add the bananas and vanilla to the food processor and blend until thick and creamy. Then, add the dates and sea salt and pulse until well combined and chopped dates are mostly intact.
Freezer: Store leftover nice cream in an airtight container, with a piece of parchment or plastic wrap pressed against the ice cream before adding the lid. Freeze for up to 2 weeks.
Serving: Let the nice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping to soften it slightly.
