- 6 (42g) soft, pitted deglet dates
- 2 small ice cubes optional

Instructions
- Freeze the bananas for at least 3 hours on a plate or cookie sheet lined with baking paper. Slice them about 1/4 inch thick in one layer. Chill the glasses you'll be using for 10 minutes.

- Add the frozen banana slices, ice cubes if using, vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg.
