Roasted Fig Cinnamon Ice Cream [AIP]

I've been holding onto this Roasted Fig and Cinnamon Ice Cream for a loooong time now. Seriously. In fact, if you take a look at this scrumptious recipe from four years ago, you'll see it oozing alongside. That pairing is a match made in heaven btw!

This is one of those recipes that will take you right through the year, or as long as fresh figs are available. Eating on a searing hot day reminds me of a trip to Rome where the family sat outside a small gelateria testing all the concoctions to be had there. It's also the perfect flavour to choose with the holiday season approaching.

Figs roasted in this way are unbelievably more-ish, so I'll forgive you for not wanting to go through with the ice cream. But you won't be disappointed - perhaps you should just make double!

Roasted Fig Cinnamon Ice Cream [AIP]

Roasted Fig and Cinnamon Ice Cream
Serves around 8

Print the recipe here!

12 oz fresh Black Mission (or Brown Turkey) figs (approx 10-12), halved
1/2 tsp cinnamon
zest of 1 large navel orange
juice of 2 large navel oranges (4 fl oz)
3 tbsp maple syrup
2+1/2 cups coconut milk
small pinch of salt

Preheat the oven to 325F.

Pour the orange juice and maple syrup into a small bowl and mix together.

Place the figs into a small roasting tray, cut side up. Using a fine sieve, dust the cinnamon over the figs. Now pour over the orange juice mixture and sprinkle the orange zest over the top.

Pop the tray into the oven for about 30 minutes, until the figs are softened and the surrounding juice has thickened to a light syrup.

Transfer to a shallow bowl and allow to cool completely.

When the figs and syrup are cold, purée them in a blender, together with the coconut milk. Chill for a minimum of 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Put the mixture into your ice cream machine and churn as per the manufacturer's instructions.

    I can't wait to try figs with cinnamon ice cream. Is there any way to purchase or find figs off season? I bought a fig tree this summer, but it will be awhile before I can harvest any. Perhaps someone carries them frozen. It sounds delightful. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

      I was able to buy mine from my local grocery store, imported from California where they're still in season. I don't know where you live but if your local store doesn't have them, perhaps you have a mediterranean store within reach? If not, the influx of mediterranean imports will be coming in time for the holidays.

        I live in Pennsylvania, a NW suburb of Philadelphia. I will look for a mediteranean store and in our local shops over the holidays. I didn't even know mediterranean stores exist, so I will have something new to investigate. I mainly shop in natural foods stores, so perhaps the holidays will yield some. Thank you so much for the tips, and this sounds amazing.

    I am on The Gaps Diet and am not allowed maple syrup. Can I use raw honey instead?

      Yes you can definitely use honey but I would use less of it. Say 2 tbsp and keep an eye on the pan to make sure the syrup isn't burning.

      It's lovely isn't it? It actually comes from a local ice cream parlour in Vancouver, so you need to come and visit

    Do you have a specific kind of coconut milk you recommend or personally use? I find so much variation in consistency between brands.
