Notes
Weight - We used 6 large Medjool dates for this recipe. It was 4 ounces by weight (with seeds) and 3.6 ounces by weight (without seeds).
Don’t add milk first – Process dates with avocado first into a puree before adding the milk to get a smooth and creamy consistency.
Chill – We recommend chilling for at least 6 hours or up to 2 days to help it thicken and the flavors blend.
Adjust recipe – Feel free to add more or less of any ingredient to suit your taste.
Dates - I highly recommend using the soft Medjool variety to make a velvety smooth mousse! However, if you want to use the Noor variety, then make sure to soften them before blending.
To soften, heat half a cup of milk until hot, add pitted noor dates, cover and let it sit for about 30 minutes. This breaks down the fiber and softens them making it easier to blend.
