Spice Roasted Figs with Hazelnuts and Vanilla Ice Cream

August 12, 2016 by Nicole 10 Comments

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Breyers. All opinions are 100% mine.

What would a birthday party be without ice cream? When it comes to birthday celebrations, ice cream is right up there in importance with the cake. They go hand-in-hand at my house.

Ice cream is always there to help us celebrate special occasions, and now it’s our turn to be there for ice cream. Breyers ice cream is celebrating a huge milestone birthday this year. 150 years! That’s pretty amazing, if you ask me. 

In honor of their 150th birthday, Breyers partnered with celebrity chef Curtis Stone and his wife, actress Lindsay Price Stone, to create 12 ice cream recipes inspired by every month of the year.

Spice Roasted Figs with Hazelnuts and Vanilla Ice Cream

Breyers Natural Vanilla is featured in all twelve recipes, giving families a way to enjoy the fresh taste of America’s #1 Vanilla Ice Cream all year long. Breyers Natural Vanilla is made with high quality ingredients like fresh cream, milk and sugar.

I recreated Chef Curtis Stone’s recipe for Spice Roasted Figs with Hazelnuts and Vanilla Ice Cream. Fresh figs are a seasonal treat you have got to try. They are so different in taste and texture from dried figs.

In this recipe, fresh figs are dipped in sugar and spice (and everything nice) then caramelized under the broiler. Warm figs are the perfect complement to Breyers Natural Vanilla ice cream. breyers fig recipe ice cream This was my first time EVER eating fresh figs. I have to admit, I was a little doubtful about the figs at first, but this recipe totally turned me into a fresh fig fan. My husband and I loved this ice cream recipe, and I will definitely make it again. Breyers Vanilla Ice Cream Fresh Fig Recipe Dessert

  • 8 ripe figs, halved lengthwise
  • 1 1/3 cups Breyers® Natural Vanilla Ice Cream

Instructions
  1. Position broiler rack 6 inches from heat source and preheat broiler. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. In a small bowl, mix sugar and spices. One at a time, dip figs, cut side down, in sugar mixture to coat. Then coat figs a second time with sugar mixture and arrange cut side up on baking sheet. Broil figs, watching closely, for about 4 minutes, or until sugar melts and begins to caramelize and figs soften slightly and begin to ooze their juice.

    Mmm, I love Breyers vanilla ice cream. It has always been my daugher’s favorite. I’ve never had a fresh fig either, so this has me very interested! #HomeMattersParty

      Hi Pam! I agree with you and your daughter, I love Breyers vanilla. Now should be a good time to find fresh figs in season at the grocery store. If you can’t, one of my friends told me you can buy them frozen at Trader Joe’s. Hope that helps! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, Nicole

    This looks like a delicious recipe to try. I love figs in general. I haven’t made them in recipes, but I sure do look for fig preserves. I have put that on my Breyers ice cream before and it’s a wonderful treat. I can only imagine how it would be to make your recipe on it.

    I knew Breyers ice cream was old, but I had no clue it was 150 years old.
