Vegan ice cream is a treat that is very expensive in the grocery store. This homemade fig ice cream recipe is simple and satisfies a sweet craving.
I have a new found love of figs. I did not have fresh ones so I used some dried calimyrna figs. Do not skip the lemon juice, without it the ice cream is too sweet. It would be even better with ripe fresh figs.
Much to my surprise, since I have been eating raw foods I have not been interested in eating too many sweet things. I actually have been eating about the same amount of fruit 2-3 pieces per day, although I have to make an effort to remember to do so most days.
My go to dessert has been my homemade chunky monkey ice cream (just blended frozen bananas, vanilla, walnuts and 85% dark chocolate chunks ). The texture is surprisingly like ice cream. I decided to try something different today.
