 TIPS: 

• Prep tips: 
  Alternatively, if you want your ice cream more frozen, place the nice cream into an airtight container, freeze for 2-3 hours and scoop out serves.

  I recommend freezing ripe bananas the day before as the store-bought frozen bananas have less flavour and sweetness. 
  If your dates are quite hard, soak them in hot water for 10 mins, then drain before using them. 

• Allergies: 
  For a nut-free version: Swap peanut butter for tahini or seed butter. 

• Easy ingredient swaps: 
  Swap peanut butter for nut-butter of choice. 
  Swap coconut cream for normal cream or milk of choice.

• For fussy eaters: 
  Make sure the dates are not detectable or use 1-2 tbsp of maple syrup or honey instead of the dates.
