Ingredients:
20 pitted dates, roughly chopped
2 Tbs raw honey
2 Tbs extra virgin coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
4 cups sliced very ripe bananas
1/2 cup raw pecans (or peanuts), coarsely chopped
2 Tbs cacao nibs

Method:
Put dates into a medium bowl, cover with lukewarm water and set aside to let soak for 10 minutes. Drain dates and reserve soaking liquid. In a food processor, purée dates with 3 to 4 tablespoons of the soaking liquid, honey, oil, vanilla and cinnamon until smooth. (Discard remaining soaking liquid.) Add bananas and purée again until almost smooth. Transfer to a stainless steel bowl and stir in nuts and cacao nibs. Cover and freeze, stirring occasionally, until almost solid, 4 to 6 hours. Let ice cream soften a bit at room temperature before serving.
