Ingredients

  • kg figs fresh ( 20)
  • 250 ml cup heavy whipping cream 
  • 0.5 teaspoon juice of lemon freshly squeezed to taste
  • 150 sugar 
  • 125 ml water 

Equipment

  • food processor
  • sauce pan
  • blender
  • ice cream machine

Directions

  1. Remove the hard stem ends from the figs, then cut each fig into 8 pieces.
  2. Put the figs in a medium, nonreactive saucepan with the water, and zest the lemon directly into the saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the figs are tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. Remove the lid, add the sugar, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the figs are a jamlike consistency.
  4. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Once cool, purée the fig paste in a blender or food processor with the cream and lemon juice. Taste, then add more lemon juice if desired.
  5. Chill the mixture thoroughly, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
