Home-made fig ice cream
A bowl of no-churn fig ice cream, making the most of late summer’s bounty, is a delicious way to round off a BBQ and make the most of the last warm days. Our Sweet Allrounder is a lovely chocolatey topping and complements the ice cream flavours beautifully. Don’t be tempted to skip the honey or reduce the sugar – both are necessary to keep the ice cream soft and scoopable. The ice cream will keep in the freezer for weeks, but it will be at its best texture after its first freeze.
