Fig and Chocolate No-Churn Ice Cream Recipe
Serves 6-8
Ingredients
Directions
Preheat your oven broiler. Remove the stems of the figs and chop them into eighths. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the butter, brown sugar, honey, and sea salt. Stir while the mixture cooks. When it begins to bubble, add the figs. Stir so that the figs are completely coated by the mixture.
Transfer the pan to under the broiler and let the figs and sauce continue to broil for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the sugar from burning. Once finished, set aside to cool to return temperature.
In a large bowl, add the condensed milk, vanilla, fig mixture, and cacao nibs. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold about half of the whipped cream into the fig mixture. Once combined, fold in the remaining half of the whipped cream.
Pour the ice cream into an aluminum loaf pan and seal with plastic wrap. Freeze. Before serving, let the pan sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes so that the ice cream is easily to scoop
