Instructions

Making Honey-Drizzled Fig Ricotta Ice Cream can be simple if you follow these steps:

  1. Prepare Figs: In a bowl, combine the chopped figs with one tablespoon of honey. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes to release their juices.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the ricotta cheese, whole milk, heavy cream, remaining honey, vanilla extract, salt, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Incorporate Figs: Using a spoon, fold in the fig mixture gently into the ricotta blend. Make sure to leave some small pieces of figs for texture.
  4. Chill Mixture: Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cover it. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.
  5. Churn Ice Cream: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually for about 25–30 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  6. Transfer to Container: Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container. Freeze for another 2-4 hours to harden.
  7. Prepare to Serve: Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
