I love figs, especially roasted or grilled with a little cheese and honey. I’ll eat them fresh or dried out of hand. So I figured now that figs are in season, I should try out this fresh fig ice cream. It tastes – figgy. Creamy figgy flavor without that fig texture to go with it. It’s odd. great texture, but I want a little honey with it. I tried mixing a little honey in, but it overpowered the fig flavor. Maybe cooking up the cream with a touch of honey might work, but I’m not sure I’ll make this again.
