Tahini-Date Ice Cream, Almond Crumb and Pomegranate Molasses :: Chef Divya Jain
"Tahini-Date Ice Cream, Almond Crumb and Pomegranate Molasses"
Intensely rich, nutty, creamy this tahini ice cream is over-the-top good. I have used dates as sweetener and coconut milk and cream as the base of ice cream.
I have paired the ice cream with some almond crumb for the texture and tangy Pomegranate molasses to make it brighter and more inviting.
Definitely a healthier and delicious way to indulge in a plant-based dessert!
