Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, use ripe, high-quality figs.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute with full-fat coconut cream for a slightly different flavor profile.
- For a smoother texture, pass the ice cream mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before freezing.
- Get creative with your toppings! Try adding chopped nuts, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
