Ingredient Notes

- Mulberries: They have a good balance of sweet and tart flavors with a hint of a woody taste.
- Date Caramel: It is perfect for ice creams for that naturally caramel-like taste.
Ingredient Substitutions
- Date Caramel: You can use the store-bought one or prepare it at home. You just need to soak a few Medjool dates in hot water for a few minutes and blitz them in a high-speed blender until you get a creamy texture. Add more or less water, depending on the thickness you prefer.
