    1. Sweet Potato
      • Who thought a potato would make a wonderful base for ice cream! Remember, cook and skin the potato before blending...this ain't mashed potatoes 😂
    2. Coconut Cream
      • This thiccc cream helps give the dip a little more structure, in combo with the dates, of course. Plus, coconut is just delicious all by itself and great for other baking adventures!
    3. Vegan Caramel Sauce
      • Don't know how to make caramel sauce? All good! We created this recipe just for you...and it's super easy to create! Find it here: How to Make Vegan Caramel Sauce.
    4. Vanilla Extract
      • This little addition adds more flavor while enhancing the other flavors in our recipe! Technically, you can go without it, but it's just so much more worth it to go to the store and spend the cash on a good vanilla. It's like baking banana bread without vanilla, it simply isn't the same without it!

      • Ice cream is great on its own, but they become infinitely better with some scrumptious toppings—berries, whipped cream, sprinkles, fried chicken, bacon, bananas, cinnamon, nut butter, eggs, bacon, and so much more!
