Ingredients

Caramelized Figs

  • 3 tablespoon coconut oil
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 lb ripe Black Mission Figs halved
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • pinch sea salt

Ice Cream Base

  • 1 ½ cups homemade almond milk or other non-dairy milk
  • 1 whole vanilla bean
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 can organic full fat coconut milk
  • 2 medium dragon fruit
  • 5 dates pitted

Instructions

Caramelize the figs

  • Heat the coconut oil over medium heat in a saucepan. Add brown sugar and water, stir to dissolve. Place figs in the saucepan with lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until you have a fairly thick, jam-like mixture. This should take about 25-30 minutes, or so. Stir in salt, set aside and let cool completely.

Make the ice cream base

  • Heat almond milk on low heat. Cut open vanilla bean and scrape seeds into milk. Add honey and stir mixing well. Let simmer for 5 minutes, then set aside and let cool.
  • Put the coconut milk, dragonfruit, and dates in a blender and puree until smooth. Add the almond milk mixture and puree further.
  • Using an ice cream machine, pour the ice cream base into the frozen basin and mix according to ice cream machine directions. Add in the fig jam mixture about 10 minutes into the process. Continue to process for around 10 minutes. Pour the semi-frozen mixture into a pyrex dish or glass tupperware. Freeze for at least two hours before serving.
