Make the ice cream: chop the dates and place in a blender with hot water, vanilla and salt. Blitz into a paste then add the coconut milk and whizz together.
Pour the coconut mix into a container and put in the freezer.
Make the fruit mince: In a pot over very low heat, add all remaining ingredients and allow to stew with the lid on for 10-15 minutes - stir regularly.
Refrigerate the fruit mince mixture so it cools completely.
Combine: After an hour or two, pull the ice cream out of the freezer and give it a stir - pour it into a mould if you’re using one (a loaf tin works well!).
Scoop the fruit mince into the ice cream and gently stir through to distribute.
Return to the freezer and leave overnight to freeze solid.
Turn out of the mould and slice (or scoop out in portions) and serve between eight.
