Cooking Time: Just 2 minutes

Who Can Eat: Makes enough for 2 people

What You Need

6 dried dates, pitted
4 dried figs, stems removed
2 cups milk (you can use almond, soy, or regular milk)
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
Grated chocolate or chocolate chips (for garnish)
Sliced almonds (for garnish)

How to make it:

Soak the dates and figs in warm water for 10-15 minutes to soften them. This will make them easier to blend.
Drain the dates and figs and put them in a blender. Add the milk and chocolate syrup. If you like your milkshake cold, add a few ice cubes.
Blend everything at high speed until smooth. Make sure there are no chunks left for a creamy, smooth milkshake.
Pour the milkshake into two glasses. Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of each. Sprinkle some grated chocolate or chocolate chips and sliced almonds for that extra yummy look.
