How to Prepare 5-Ingredient Salted Caramel Ice Cream [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

If the dates are not soft, soak them in filtered water for 30 minutes and drain well before using in the recipe.
Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Pour into an ice cream maker and process according to package directions. Once it has finished, pour into a freezer-safe container with a lid, and freeze for about 4 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
If you do not have an ice cream maker you may also freeze it. Pour the ice cream into a bowl and place in the freezer. Whisk once every 30 minutes, until it has frozen to the consistency of soft serve. Then, pour the ice cream into a freezer-safe container.
If the ice cream is too frozen, let sit out about 15-20 minutes before scooping.
