Sweet and silky with surprising bursts of crunch, chew and salt, store-bought vanilla ice cream topped with caramelized dates, olive oil and flaky salt has no business being as delicious and fancy-feeling as it is. The bitterness of chocolate sauce accentuates the sweetness of ice cream, so it makes sense that Italians drizzle spicy, bitter olive oil on ice cream, too. Toasting the dates in olive oil beforehand further enhances the flavors.
