Figs and Vanilla Ice cream

If you ask me which fruit is my favorite, I will tell you that figs are. If you ask me which dessert is my favorite, I will tell you Ice creams are. And if you ask me what would I do in Madagascar… I will tell you: no beach for me, just looking for the best vanilla in the world!!!

Can you imagine how mouthwatering is the sight of this gelato for me? The combination of these three ingredients makes it a winner :D. Now that figs are starting to show up at the markets and now that I have a fig tree in my terrace that has been kind enough to give me more than 5 figs (that was last year’s), it’s the right time for a delicious Figs and Vanilla ice cream! If you are not into ice creams but love figs, take a look at the suggestions down at the bottom of the post… you can go savory with figs and ham or with foie… gosh! The thought of it makes me drool ;D.

I can’t stop making ice creams now that I have the Ice creams maker! However, if that is not your case, it’s really easy to make your own ice cream without the machine. Look hereunder for instructions :D.

Now that days are still hot and that Fall starts giving us it’s particular fruits, we must take advantage and enjoy simple pleasures!
