Next time you're in the Coachella Valley, you must try the Palm Springs Date Shakes!! In this video, I tour the Shield's Date Garden in Indio to learn a few date facts and learn the secret to their famous date shake recipe.The blonde dates, grown only at Shield's, are especially moist and delicious.
In lieu of the chopped dates, you can also substitute 1/4 cup of frozen date paste, made from a mixture of 1/4 cup Shield's date crystals and 1/4 cup cold water.
