Sticky date pudding and soft-serve ice cream combine in this dreamy, creamy dessert that’s been given a healthy spin, thanks to high-protein Greek yoghurt and milk, and the natural sweetness of dates.

You’ll need to start this recipe a day ahead, and you’ll need a Ninja Swirl by CREAMi.

400g plain Greek-style yoghurt
100g pitted Medjool dates, finely chopped
2 1/2 tbs milk
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
Date molasses, to serve

Method

1.

Whiz all ingredients except date molasses with a pinch of salt flakes in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a Ninja Swirl by CREAMi container. Cover with lid and freeze for 24 hours.
2.

Remove lid and insert pint container into outer bowl of appliance. Install processing lid onto outer bowl, and insert outer bowl into appliance. Select ‘soft serve’, then ‘lite ice cream’. Once the spin is finished, remove the tub from outer bowl and cover with the dispensing lid. Insert into the dispense opening on the appliance. Open the dispenser and press down on the lever for the soft serve to come out.
3.

Fill four small serving bowls. Serve immediately, drizzled with date molasses.
