  In Epi's 3-Ingredient Recipes series, we show you how to make great food with just three ingredients (plus staples like oil, salt, and pepper).

  Pan-searing dates turns them into an irresistible, warm treat with a crisp, caramelized exterior and a soft, sweet interior. Paired with cold vanilla ice cream and topped with olive oil, mint, and flaky sea salt, the fruit becomes a sophisticated dessert with a fun mix of sweet and savory.

  

Ingredients

4 servings

  1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling

  12 Medjool dates, pitted

  1 pint vanilla ice cream

  1/4 cup mint leaves, torn if large

  Flaky sea salt

  

Step 1

Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium skillet over medium. Add dates and cook, turning often, until lightly browned on all sides, 4–6 minutes.

  

Step 2

Divide dates among plates. Add a few small scoops of ice cream to each. Drizzle with oil, then top with mint; season with salt.
