Step by step

Make it like a pro.

About 5 minutes hands-on plus a 10-minute date soak.

  1. 01

    Check the dates for pits, chop and weigh 25 g edible flesh. Soak them in the measured milk for 10 minutes.

  2. 02

    Blend the dates and all the soaking milk until no chewy pieces remain. Stir the tahini jar, then add the measured tahini and blend briefly.

  3. 03

    Add the vanilla ice cream and pulse just until combined and pourable. Serve the entire batch without extra ice or toppings.

Easy swaps

  • Use 12 g smooth peanut butter instead of tahini for a different nutty flavor, accounting for its different composition and allergens.
  • For very soft dates, omit the soak and blend them directly with the milk before adding ice cream.

Mixpert tips

  • Keep the ice cream frozen until the date base is smooth so a long blend does not melt it.
  • A measured date weight is more consistent than a fixed fruit count.

Date Tahini Milkshake FAQs

Is this date tahini milkshake a protein shake?

It is an ice-cream dessert shake without whey powder. The separate tahini date protein shake uses a different base and has its own portion and nutrient estimate.

Why blend the dates before adding ice cream?

Dates can remain chewy after a short pulse. Softening and blending them with milk first lets you finish the ice cream quickly without warming the whole shake.

Can I leave the tahini oil behind when measuring?

Stir the tahini thoroughly before measuring. Taking only thick sesame solids or only surface oil changes both the flavor and the reference composition.
