Fig & White Chocolate Ice Cream

This high-end fig and white chocolate ice cream is deliciously sweet and creamy, with a hint of fruitiness from the figs. This dessert is great for the summer or any time you want something cool and sweet.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 6 egg yolks
• 200g white chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup fresh figs, chopped
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

Set the heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar in a saucepan

Heat them over medium-low heat until they start to simmer

Whisk the egg yolks in a different bowl until they are smooth

Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking them all the time to keep them from curdling

Put the mixture back in the saucepan

Cook it over low heat while stirring it all the time until it gets thick enough to coat the back of a spoon

Add the chopped white chocolate and stir until it melts and is smooth

Let the mixture cool all the way down, then put it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or until its very cold

After the mixture has been chilled, use an ice cream maker according to the directions that came with it

Add the chopped figs and vanilla extract in the last few minutes of churning

Once the ice cream is smooth, put it in a container and freeze it for another two to four hours, until it is firm
