fig ice cream

just in case you were wondering how awesome fig ice cream is, i will tell you. it is fucking awesome.

start with the basic recipe from this jenni’s ice cream article (columbus has the best ice cream ohmahgah) but instead of vanilla bean add a pint of black mission figs that you’ve peeled and blended with the zest and jucie of half a lemon and a little bit (like, half a teaspoon maybe? just, you know, not that much) of vanilla extract.

i can’t eat figs by themselves, too grainy for me, but i love fig-falvored things. i also love not-that-sweet ice cream flavors. hence, fig ice cream.

you’re welcome.
