To make the caramel, drain the dates which have been soaking and add them to the blender along with the peanut butter, maple, vanilla and mylk.

Blend until smooth and creamy then pour on top of the base.

Return this to the freezer for at least 30 minutes.

Bring abound 5cm of water to a simmer in a sauce pan and place a heat proof bowl on top of the saucepan.
