A refreshing no bake treat that will add a little sunshine to your day. Vegan, Paleo, Refined Sugar-Free.*   Biting into a fresh, *juicy*, ripened to perfection peach on a warm summer's day, preferably while sitting on the beach breathing in the salty sea air...okay now how bad to you want a peach?🙊🍑 I know, I know, fall is basically here...just step into any Home Goods, TJ Maxx, Trader Joe's and it's pumpkin GALORE! But before delving into the snuggly pumpkin season, I have just oneeee more summer-y recipe so indulge me!   ![medjool dates](https://blog.joolies.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3DD02ECD-FF0D-4D0C-8400-AA96169A8214.jpeg?width=2904&height=3097&name=3DD02ECD-FF0D-4D0C-8400-AA96169A8214.jpeg)   It's hard to beat a juicy peach and some might say it's even harder to beat peach ice cream--homemade that is. Combining my abysmal love for fresh peaches and the sweetness of summer to create these scrumptious **Peach Crisp Ice Cream Bars,** made with wholesome ingredients, **sweetened naturally** with [medjool dates](https://joolies.com/collections/all), and is also **gluten free**, **dairy free**, **vegan**, and **grain free**. Don't worry, an ice cream maker is *not* required--this is no churn baby!   The crust is a MUST and honestly is a standalone stellar snack! Made with [Joolies medjool dates](https://joolies.com/collections/all), pecans, shredded coconut flakes, cinnamon and vanilla, this simple combo works together spectacularly, adding a little extra oomph! To create the creamy, ice cream "filling," we blend together a delicious combination of cashews, coconut cream, date syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla. You would never guess was made from nuts!   ![organic medjool dates](https://blog.joolies.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2A0FBEF5-21C3-453C-9113-EBBCFF309FA0.jpg?width=3024&height=4032&name=2A0FBEF5-21C3-453C-9113-EBBCFF309FA0.jpg)     ## Ingredients for the crust:   1. 1. [Joolies Pitted Dates](https://joolies.com/collections/all/products/organic-medjool-dates-two-pitted-9oz-bags) - The only *natural *sweetener needed. Don't forget to soak in warm water first! Why soak them? Well while they are juicy beforehand, this step allows them to become extra-hydrated to create the perfect texture for the crust so no extra water/milk needs to be added. 2. **Raw Pecans** - We recommend using raw pecans to avoid any added oils or salt! It also has one of the [highest antioxidant levels](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5012104/) in nuts, loaded with the good kind of fats (unsaturated), and help control blood sugar levels thanks to its slow-digesting properties 👏 3. **Shredded Coconut Flakes** - Its natural oils helps bind the crust together and adds touch of natural sweetness while also serving as a good source of healthy fats. Be sure to grab unsweetened coconut flakes, but if you only have sweetened coconut on hand, reduce the amount of date syrup you add into the ice cream layer. 4. **Cinnamon + Vanilla** - **Adding these into the crust to enhance and bring the flavors together.** **![organic medjool dates, no bake dessert](https://blog.joolies.com/hs-fs/hubfs/9C7094BC-3824-4B74-8EEB-85C2A5848300.jpg?width=3024&height=4032&name=9C7094BC-3824-4B74-8EEB-85C2A5848300.jpg)** ## Ingredients for the filling: 1. 1. **Raw Cashews**  - Be sure to soak these in filtered water for at least 2 hours beforehand. If you are soaking longer than 2 hours, place them in the fridge.  2. **Coconut Cream ** - You can grab a can of coconut cream or a can of full-fat coconut milk and scoop out the thick creamy layer on top. It's important to get the full-fat version to get that creaminess we all love about ice cream. 3. [Joolies Date Syrup](https://blog.joolies.com/https/blog.joolies.com/bittersweet-goodbye-to-joolies-date-syrup) - The one and only *natural *sweetener for our delicious ice cream--made with medjool dates! 4. **Fresh Peaches** - For the utmost fresh, sweet flavor, fresh peaches are a must. This is one of the few times where frozen or canned peaches simply won't do. 5. **Lemon Juice** - This acts as a natural preservative to extend the freshness and balances the flavors in the ice cream! 6. **Vanilla + Sea Salt** - These help to compliment the other flavors.   ![medjool dates, no bake dessert](https://blog.joolies.com/hs-fs/hubfs/A0A71163-58D3-4435-8714-3361FC6E4E8A.jpeg?width=937&height=1180&name=A0A71163-58D3-4435-8714-3361FC6E4E8A.jpeg)   If you make this summery treat, be sure to tag both of us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/jooliesdates/) **@jooliesdates** and [@edwardandsons](https://www.instagram.com/edwardandsons/) and use the hashtag **#jooliesdates** so we can see all your date-able date recipe recreations!

It's beginning to look a lot like...GINGERBREAD...in cookie, bread, bars, muffins, and truffles galore! We've partnered with our friends Edward & Sons to bring you deeee-licious gingerbread bars that are no bake, vegan, paleo, and refined sugar-free! Full of flavors that embody the holiday season and made with wholesome, natural ingredients, these bars will be your new favorite gingerbread dessert😋 The crust is made out of Joolies dates, almonds, coconut flour, cinnamon date syrup, cinnamon and ginger. This simple combo works well to really elevate the flavors in this dessert. The filling is a delicious combination of cashews, coconut milk, cinnamon date syrup, coconut oil, and spices which create that silky smooth texture. You would never guess was made from nuts! Ingredients for the crust: Joolies Pitted Dates The only natural sweetener needed. Don't forget to soak in warm water first! Why soak them? Well while they are juicy beforehand, this step allows them to become extra-hydrated to create the perfect texture for the bliss balls. Raw Almonds We recommend using raw almonds to avoid any added oils or salt! It also supports a healthy gut, Omega-3 levels, and help control blood sugar levels thanks to its slow-digesting properties 👏 Joolies Cinnamon Date Syrup The natural sweetener leveled up with a touch of cinnamon! Plus, you still maintain all the nutrient and health benefits of a medjool date in the syrup form. Let's Do Organic Coconut Flour This acts as a great binder to get the perfect texture, plus coconut flour is high in fiber, protein, making it a great alternative for wheat flour. Cinnamon + Ginger Don't forget the spices! Adding these into the crust will help create a stronger gingerbread flavor profile. Almond Milk We went with an almond milk for this one, but use whatever floats your boat! There's coconut, macadamia, or other blends that work just the same. Ingredients for the filling: Raw Cashews Be sure to soak these in filtered water for at least 2 hours beforehand. If you are soaking longer than 2 hours, place them in the fridge. Native Forest Organic Classic Coconut Milk We love this coconut milk because it has no added sugar, organic, and kosher certified! Be sure to use the cream and water when adding to the mix. Joolies Cinnamon Date Syrup The one and only natural sweetener for our filling--made up of just medjool dates + cinnamon! Coconut Oil You want this to be melted, so pop it into the microwave for 40ish seconds then pour directly into the mix. As an alternative, you can use avocado oil. Apple Cider Vinegar Cinnamon + Nutmeg + Ginger The combination of these spices will give us that yummy gingerbread flavor we love. Vanilla + Sea Salt These help to compliment the other flavors!
