Roasted Fig Gelato
This Roasted Fig Gelato is the richest and creamiest homemade ice cream I’ve made to date on the blog. It’s made with fresh figs and mascarpone cheese, and stays beautifully scoopable even after a night in the freezer.
The mascarpone lends a lusciousness that lingers on the palate, and it has a long culinary history with figs — they bring out the best in each other. I can’t think of another fruit that is as full bodied as Black Mission figs. They have great color and flavor, too, which all translates into an extra special gelato.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Black Mission figs

- 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 8 oz package of mascarpone cheese an Italian cream cheese
