60gramsgoat cheeseor another complementary soft cheese
a couple drops orange blossom water
Instructions
Wash the figs well, remove the stems, cut figs into quarters and place in a saucepan.
Add water the water and orange zest. Cover and cook over medium heat.
Cook the figs until tender, stirring occasionally.
Add the sugar, and continue to cook the mixture uncovered, stirring frequently, until it resembles the consistency of jam.
Remove from the heat and press through a sieve/strainer. You may skip this step, if you want the extra crunch of seeds in your ice cream.
Allow to cool to room temperature, add the cream, the cheese and blossom water or orange juice and blend well. You may do this in a blender, food processor, or if you have a good immersion blender, that works well too (and less clean-up).
Refrigerate the mixture overnight, then freeze it in your ice cream maker following the manufacturer’s instructions.
