I’m thrilled to be part of Breyers 150th year celebration year! Ice cream is always a hit in our home! Breyers is celebrating its 150^th birthday and has partnered with celebrity chef Curtis Stone and his wife, actress Lindsay Price Stone, to create 12 recipes featuring Breyers Natural Vanilla, inspired by every month of the year, to give families a way to celebrate birthdays and special occasions with Breyers all year-long. This month the recipe is an Spice Roasted Figs with Hazelnuts and Vanilla Ice Cream recipe and was it every good! You know I also love to sew, so I created a fun ice cream applique t-shirt to celebrate as well.

Spiced Fig Ice Cream

Ice cream is a treat our whole family can agree on and Breyers only sources milk and cream from cows not treated with artificial growth hormones* and all Breyers vanilla is real and from sustainably farmed, Rainforest Alliance Certified™ vanilla beans, so this is a treat I can feel good about giving my family. I’ll admit, I’ve never had a fresh fig before I made this recipe. BUT… I may not be a convert… the candied sugar on top of these makes it AMAZING! First, you make up the sugar/spice mix. Then dip the face of each cut fig… Pop in the broiler for just a few minutes and then come out looking divine!! YUM! A true celebration of ice cream for sure!!
Fool your guests with this gourmet dessert… you don’t have to tell them it only takes 10 min. of prep!
