Ice Cream Base
- 8 oz Fresh Figs Substitute with any fresh variety or rehydrated dried figs if needed.
- 15 oz Ricotta Cheese Strain through a fine-mesh sieve for ultra-smooth result.
- ½ cup Honey Extra honey can be drizzled on top for serving.
- 1 cup Cream Ensure it’s very cold before using for best results.
Roasting the Figs
- 2 tablespoon Unsalted Butter Melt for drizzling.
- 1 pinch Sea Salt Use sparingly for a balanced taste.
Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 450°F.
Clean and halve the figs, leaving the base intact for presentation.
Arrange the figs upright in a skillet and drizzle them with melted butter, honey, and a pinch of sea salt.
Roast the figs for about 10 minutes until tender and bubbly.
Prepare the ice cream base by stirring together ricotta, cream, and honey in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
Cool the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
Churn the chilled base in an ice cream maker until smooth and creamy.
Freeze the ice cream in an airtight container, pressing plastic wrap against the surface.
Optionally drizzle extra honey over the finished ice cream before serving.
