Is it like a ice cream?
Kind of, I guess! xx
What size pan would be required for this recipe?
Looks amazing, can’t wait to try your recipe.
Thanks!
Hi Beth! It was about 21 x 8cm :) xx
Hi! I’m wondering if you chopped or pureed the dates before melting them. Also did you use a can of coconut milk using only the cream once separated? Thank you! Can’t wait to make this!
Hi Andrea, I just chopped up the dates using kitchen scissors. And I used the whole can of coconut cream, but coconut milk would also work :) I hope you enjoy it! xx
I had trouble with the topping I melted the coconut oil & added it to the other ingredients I couldn’t get it to combine the coconut oil separated from the other ingredients any advice
Hi Lyn, I’ve never had these troubles. I melted my coconut oil so that it was a complete liquid (not just soft) and stirred it really well. If you let it sit, it might separate. So I would stir it really well and then pour it straight on :) xx
Thank you for your response
Hi Rachel, What size tin of coconut cream do you use? 270ml or 400ml?
I used a 400mL tin xx

Hi Rachael,
