Fig Leaf Ice Cream
Makes a litre of ice cream
400ml milk
600ml cream
15 fig leaves, torn
125g brown sugar
6 yolks
Vanilla essence
1 tbsp liquid glucose
Combine the milk, cream and fig leaves in a pan over a medium to low heat and warm until just simmering. Leave to infuse over night in the fridge.
Strain the cream mixture and discard the leaves. Put back on a medium heat, do not let the milk boil. Whisk the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla until light and creamy (about 3-4 minutes), pour in the milk mix and replace back on the heat. Stir in the liquid glucose mixing until the custard coats the back of a spoon.
Leave to cool and then churn in an ice cream maker or in the freezer mixing every hour for four hours. Serve with mango and thyme crumble, recipe here.
