Directions

Heat Nelson Olive Oil Co. Cobrancosa Olive Oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Place halved dates, cut side down, in the hot skillet. Sear for about 1-2 minutes until lightly caramelized.
Flip the dates and sear for another 1-2 minutes until caramelized on both sides.
Remove dates from the skillet and let cool slightly.
Scoop vanilla ice cream into serving bowls or plates.
Arrange the seared dates on top of the ice cream.
Drizzle additional Cobrancosa Olive Oil over the dates and ice cream.
Sprinkle with sea salt to taste.

Recipe Note

Serve immediately to enjoy the warm, caramelized dates contrasting with the cool vanilla ice cream, enhanced by the richness of Cobrancosa Olive Oil and the savoury touch of sea salt.

While vanilla ice cream lets the toppings shine, you can also try coffee, hazelnut or strawberry ice cream instead!
