    Preparation Steps

    1

    Wash the figs, trim off the stems, and chop them into smaller pieces.

    2

    In a saucepan, combine the figs, honey, and lemon juice. Cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, or until the figs soften and become jam-like.

    3

    Let the fig mixture cool, then purée in a blender until smooth.

    4

    In another saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat over low heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.

    5

    Add the fig purée to the milk mixture and let it cool completely.

    6

    Pour the ice cream base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a creamy consistency.

    7

    If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes to prevent ice crystals from forming.

    8

    Once the ice cream is completely frozen (after about 4-5 hours of freezing), serve with fresh figs and a drizzle of honey.
