I'm allergic to chocolate, so I omitted the chocolate chunks from the recipe. The ice cream was still delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover figs. I had a few figs that were starting to go bad, so I made this ice cream and it turned out great!

I had a hard time finding fresh figs, so I used dried figs instead. The ice cream still turned out delicious, but I think it would have been even better with fresh figs.

The ice cream didn't turn out as creamy as I expected. I think I might have over-churned it.

This ice cream is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the recipe.
