A generous dollop of dairy or non-dairy whipped cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon, cardamom or nutmeg makes for a fun grand finale.

Instructions
- If time permits, soak nuts in water for up to 2 hours. Drain well before using. If time does not permit, proceed with the recipe - it will still turn out great.
- Place chopped nuts, dates, 3 cups water, spices and vanilla in a powerful blender.
- Puree until as smooth as possible. Add more water, milk or nut-milk if it seems too thick. Add a little rum extract if desired. Chill until cold.
- Add bourbon or rum, stirring well, and a dollop of either regular or non-dairy whipped cream if desired. Serve with a sprinkling of cinnamon or nutmeg over the top.
