To say it is mind-blowingly yummy is hardly to do it justice--just gotta try it. AND, if you taste the fruit compote that you create in the first part of the recipe--where you cook the figs with sugar--it stands to reason that that's something worthy of enjoy too--on toast, pancakes, etc. Happy figgy love.Tumericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14710402634730511249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-14230460864598393242007-09-07T11:24:00.000-07:002007-09-07T11:24:00.000-07:00Ooh, found this from a link on David's website, and I made it last night. Soo delicious and ridiculously creamy. I'll have to "visit" more often and get a feel for the cuisine in Sacramento.

What a great ice cream idea. I will have to make this. On your tastespotting description, I thought the fig ice cream had vanilla and garlic in it, so I wasn't going to click on it, but decided to anyway. Sure glad I did. I'll link to your post when I make. Thanks for the recipe! I love the manchego on the side suggestion too.brifigswithbri.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-75600901187530224712007-08-23T09:36:00.000-07:002007-08-23T09:36:00.000-07:00I know it's a zillion weeks later, but I'd like to thank you for posting this delicious recipe. Figs only just arrived at the stores in my area. I'll be trying this as soon as I get a few pints!<BR/><BR/>A good friend of mine owns several of David's cookbooks. She's given me recipes out of it in the past (I've tried the apricot ice cream with sour cherry sauce), and they've all been absolutely wonderful.Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14613738192519222660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-59749807984255310892007-08-20T08:35:00.000-07:002007-08-20T08:35:00.000-07:00Sorry Cenk, I totally called it first.

Knowledge, recipes, experience, sure, but the samples alone would be worth it. Goodness he makes good stuff.<BR/><BR/>As for this recipe, figs are absolutely one of the best things in the whole world, and ice cream is another. So, yum.

Like your other fans, I enjoy your writing and am impressed by your cooking but, what I'm REALLY impressed with is your photography. Your "models" always look quite scrumptious. On that note, I have recently rediscovered figs and can't wait to try this ice cream. <BR/>I have a cheezy old ice cream machine that whines until you just don't think you can STAND another second then.....it stops cold. COLD! Get it?! Stops cold....sorry.DebbieTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-58227442603162460362007-08-14T11:09:00.000-07:002007-08-14T11:09:00.000-07:00I need to buy that cookbook!
