¼ cup dates, pitted and halved

Pinch of salt
For the chocolate shell
1 ½ tablespoons melted chocolate

For the ice cream
Place all ingredients in the blender and puree until very smooth. This may take a couple of tries because of the unavoidable date chunks.
Once blended, set the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
When the mixture is cool, pour it into an ice cream maker and chill for 15 minutes, then place in the freezer for an hour before scooping.
For the chocolate shell
Once you are ready to serve the ice cream, whisk all of the chocolate shell ingredients together into smooth.
Scoop the ice cream into a bowl and drizzle the chocolate sauce over the top, waiting 30 seconds for it to harden fully.
