Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan or microwave.

Blend the coconut milk, egg yolks, melted coconut oil, dates, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract in a blender for several minutes until creamy.

Taste the mixture to check for sweetness; add more dates or coconut milk if needed.

Pour the blended mixture into an ice cream maker while it is spinning to prevent it from setting against the sides.

If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a 9 by 13 pan and freeze for about 8 hours.

Let the ice cream churn in the ice cream maker for about 30 minutes until thick and creamy.

Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture or transfer to a container and freeze for a firmer texture.
