Vanilla Fig Almond Ice Cream with a Splash of Brandy
The Perfect Dessert
In honor of "fig season", we made a recipe for semi-homemade Vanilla Fig Almond Ice Cream. Summer is the season of the year where all delicious and sweet fruits are ripe and ready for lots and lots of dishes. This dessert is creamy, sweet, and refreshing with subtle notes of brandy. I love figs, almonds, and vanilla ice cream. And, for all those reasons this recipe is my top ice cream pick, and it is SOOO Easy to make especially with some store bought vanilla ice cream. If you prefer to make a homemade ice cream base, we have a very easy no-cook, no-egg vanilla ice cream base to start.
In this recipe we use L'Epicurien White Fig & Almond Confit. L'Epicurien has a number of great jams and spreads that are available for purchase in our online shop. This ice cream is perfect for a hot summer day, or for a well deserved treat any time of the year.
