Recipe Directions

1. In a food processor, process dates and walnuts or pecans.

2. Make the cookies into roughly the size of a small canning jar lid. Put the cookies on a plate in the freezer till they are hard.

3. Put the frozen bananas in the food processor or juicer (if it's one that can do that) and make banana ice cream. Put a big spoonful between two cookies and then put them back in the freezer or eat it like that.

White in for an ocean's Thoughts

By white in for an ocean

This is a very simple recipe, but they taste great!

This is a rich dessert so I usually don't eat all of one or that often, but it's a really good version of the real thing, if you ever get the craving. =)

You can also make the cookies thinner or bite-sized. The photo was taken the first time I made them, and they were really big ice cream sandwiches. =/

Well, I've been making date nut cookies for so many years that I dont even measure anymore. One could do a ratio of 1 cup of nuts to 15 dates or so. If any of you still have questions on this just look in a raw food prep book and look for a date nut pie crust and thats the recipe you use. Also, its really up to your preference, like how sweet you want it, and also there has to be enough dates to make it stick together. I soak the nuts first. Sometimes I soak them and then dehydrate them so theres not as much water in the cookies but if you're short on time then you can make it work with soaked nuts too =) I dont soak the dates. I'm glad you all like these! I have run into many recipes that look wonderful but are so complicated that it discourages me from making them and then I come up with recipes on my own. I am glad to be able to help anyone else =)

You can also use ANY dried fruit in the crust. Try raisins and blueberries Yummy! You could go even further with this by doing ANY kind of icecream...Whoa...this recipe is endless.
