INGREDIENTE (pentru 2 portii)

Pentru desert:

6 curmale mari
2 linguri ulei de masline extravirgin
fulgi de sare Maldon
6 cupe de inghetata de vanilie

Incepem prin a pregati curmalele — le taiem pe jumatate pe lungime si scatem cu grija samburele din fiecare. Le insiram pe 2 bete de frigaruie — cate 3 jumatati pe fiecare bet — astfel incat sa fie usor de manipulat pe gratar si sa nu cada prin gratar.

Incalzim gratarul bine — trebuie sa fie fierbinte pentru a obtine acea caramelizare frumoasa. Asezam frigaruile de curmale pe gratar si le lasam 2 minute pe fiecare parte, fara sa le miscam — rabdarea aceasta este esentiala pentru a obtine dungile acelea frumoase de gratar si caramelizarea perfecta. Curmalele vor deveni usor aurii, lipicioase si intens parfumate. Le scoatem de pe gratar si le taiem in bucatele mici.

In cupe de servire punem cate 3 cupe generoase de inghetata de vanilie. Asezam deasupra bucatelele de curmale caramelizate. Stropim cu ulei de masline extravirgin — un strop generos, nu te zgarcesti — si presaram fulgi de sare Maldon deasupra. Contrastul dintre dulceata curmalelor, cremozitatea inghetatei, nota florala a uleiului de masline si sarea crocanta de mare este pur si simplu de neuitat!

Servim imediat, cat curmalele sunt inca calde si inghetata incepe sa se topeasca usor — acel moment in care cald intalneste rece este toata magia acestui desert! 🍦🧂✨

Grilled dates with vanilla ice cream and Maldon salt

There are desserts that need no hours of preparation, no complicated techniques and no hard-to-find ingredients. Sometimes the most memorable endings to a meal are born from simple but bold combinations — exactly like this one. Grilled dates with vanilla ice cream and Maldon salt is the dessert you were not expecting, but one you will never forget. Sweet, salty, warm, cold, caramelised and creamy — all in a single cup! Dates transform completely when they come into contact with heat — the natural sugar rises to the surface, caramelises beautifully and creates a slightly crispy crust that hides a soft and intensely aromatic interior. Drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and scattered with Maldon salt flakes, they take on a complexity of flavours that surprises you with every bite. And the vanilla ice cream that melts slowly over the warm dates? Pure magic! And the best part? It is ready in 5 minutes. Do you have guests at a barbecue and no time for dessert? This recipe saves you every single time — spectacular, quick and impossible to resist. We guarantee everyone will ask for the recipe! 🧂🔥

INGREDIENTS (for 2 servings)

6 large dates
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Maldon salt flakes
6 scoops vanilla ice cream

We start by preparing the dates — cut them in half lengthways and carefully remove the stone from each one. Thread them onto 2 skewers — 3 halves on each skewer — so they are easy to handle on the grill and won’t fall through.

Heat the grill well — it needs to be hot to achieve that beautiful caramelisation. Place the date skewers on the grill and leave for 2 minutes on each side without moving them — this patience is essential to achieve those beautiful grill marks and perfect caramelisation. The dates will turn slightly golden, sticky and intensely fragrant. Remove from the grill and cut into small pieces.

In serving cups place 3 generous scoops of vanilla ice cream. Arrange the warm caramelised date pieces on top. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil — a generous drizzle, don’t hold back — and scatter Maldon salt flakes on top. The contrast between the sweetness of the dates, the creaminess of the ice cream, the floral note of the olive oil and the crunchy sea salt is simply unforgettable!

Serve immediately, while the dates are still warm and the ice cream is just beginning to melt — that moment when warm meets cold is all the magic of this dessert! 🍦🧂✨
