  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Chill before using.
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt Just a pinch.

  • 1/4 cup Chopped Pistachios For topping.

  • Oven
  • Skillet

  • airtight container

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Clean the mission figs under cool water, pat them dry, and halve them, leaving them connected at the base.
  2. In a skillet, melt a tablespoon of unsalted butter and mix in a drizzle of honey. Arrange the halved figs in the skillet and coat with the honey-butter mixture. Bake for about 10 minutes until tender.
  3. While the figs are roasting, whisk the ricotta cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth. Add heavy cream and honey, blending until well combined. Chill for at least 4 hours.
  4. Transfer the chilled mixture to an ice cream maker and churn until it reaches a creamy texture, about 20-30 minutes.
  5. Move the churned ice cream to an airtight container, press plastic wrap onto the surface, and freeze for at least 4 hours until firm.
  6. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. Serve with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios.
