Pre-make the Sticky Date puddings well in advance. You will loads left over for actually eating, so make them for dessert one night and keep about 100g out of circulation! Chop these into small (large raisin size) and freeze.
Pre-make the Salted Caramel Sauce as this needs to be completely fridge cold. There is a vegan version available online as well.
Make the vanilla ice cream base of your choice and get it ready to the point of either churning or partially freezing.
Pour the ice cream mix into the churner and begin churning as per manufacturers instructions. In the last minutes of churning, (see video for instructions on this) add the frozen pieces of sticky date pudding and a drizzle of the Salted Caramel Sauce allowing the churner to incorporate for no more than a minute. Transfer into ice cream containers and into the freezer for at least 2 hours before serving...unless you just cannot wait that long.
