Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rinse, dry, and chop half of the fresh figs into small pieces, setting the remaining figs aside for later. Drizzle honey over the chopped figs in a medium bowl, gently stirring to coat. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until creamy and well combined.
- Gently fold half of the honey-drizzled fig mixture into the creamy ricotta base using a spatula, distributing evenly but not overmixing.
- Pour the combined ice cream mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically taking about 20-25 minutes.
- Once at a soft-serve consistency, scoop into bowls or cones and drizzle the remaining fig mixture over each serving.
Notes
Opt for ripe figs that are soft to touch for best flavor. Avoid overmixing when incorporating the figs to maintain creaminess.
