100 g 1/2 tasse Granulated sugar
480 ml 2 tasse Heavy cream
240 ml 1 tasse Whole milk
2 cuillères à soupe 2 cuillères à soupe Miel

Equipement
Casserole- Blender or Food Processor
- Bols à mélanger
- Ice Cream Maker (optional)
- Freezer-safe container with lid
Directions
- Place the chopped figs and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the figs soften and the sugar dissolves, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- Blend the fig mixture until smooth using a blender or food processor.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the fig puree, heavy cream, whole milk, honey, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt.
- Stir until all ingredients are well mixed.
- Cover the mixture and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until completely cold.
- With Ice Cream Maker: Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes.
- Without Ice Cream Maker (No-Churn Method): Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and place it in the freezer. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to break up ice crystals, then let it freeze completely.
- Once the ice cream has thickened and reached a creamy consistency, transfer it to a freezer-safe container with a lid.
- Freeze for an additional 2-4 hours or until firm.
- Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade fig ice cream!
Notes
- Add a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to the fig puree for a tangy twist, or mix in chopped nuts like pistachios for added texture.
Can I use dried figs instead of fresh figs?
Yes, you can use dried figs if fresh ones are not available. Rehydrate the dried figs by soaking them in warm water for about 20-30 minutes until they soften, then proceed with the recipe as instructed.
