   • Begin by peeling the bananas and slicing them into 1/2″ thick pieces. Place these slices in a sealable bag and ensure they’re arranged in a single layer to prevent sticking.

2. Freeze the Bananas:

   • Allow the banana slices to freeze for several hours or up to 2 days. This step ensures a creamy and chilled texture for your dessert.

3. Prepare the Date Mixture:

   • On the morning of serving, finely chop the pitted dates and add them to a blender.
   • Include the frozen banana slices, firm silken tofu, orange juice, and rice syrup into the blender.

4. Blend Until Smooth:

   • Puree the ingredients until the mixture achieves a smooth and glossy texture, with the bits of dates evenly distributed throughout. This step may take a few minutes, depending on your blender’s power.

5. Transfer and Freeze:

   • Transfer the blended mixture to a ceramic or glass bowl, covering it with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.
   • Allow the mixture to freeze for several hours until it firms up.

6. Serving Time:

   • When ready to serve, use an ice cream scoop to portion out delightful servings into pretty dessert glasses.
   • For an elegant touch, garnish each serving with a sprig of fresh mint.
