Fig Leaf Ice Cream recipe - a flavor I never thought I would try

[@shainazion4073]

Fig trees sap can be used to coagulate cheeses. It is a vegetarian way to make cheese without rennet. Used in the Mediterranean for hundreds, thousands of years.

My grandmother makes fig leaf syrup, usually to sweeten a lemonade. It is the most delicious and aromatic thing ever. I can only imagine how good it is as ice cream.

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

That sounds so delicious! I definitely gotta try that!

[@Paula-wn6do]

Love finding out about new ingredients like this! I had no idea...my tiny mind is blown!

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

I felt the same exact way!! :D

[@deeksha611]

Fig leaves are a popular fragrance note in perfumes as well

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Yeah! I remember smelling a fig fragrance thinking huh that doesnt smell like figs but it was based on the fig leaves! Haha

[@shainazion4073]

Have the fig tree, but the only ice cream machine is an old hand crank you make with salt and ice, not using it!! I read the article on the fig leaf ice cream looked interesting, glad it tasted good.

[@DawnsHatterasIslandLife]

Simply amazing. Here on Hatteras Island we grow lots of fig trees & make preserves out of their fruit. Which of course often end up in fig cakes. Definitely want to try your fabulous recipe. Have subscribed to your page. Awesome!!!

[@Andrew_in_the_garden]

I wasn't aware that was something you can eat, does sound intriguing tho! Also I tend to make financiers with leftover eggwhites, they're so good~

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Love your financiers recommendation! Will definitively give it a try next time I have leftover egg whites. Thanks :)

[@ramyzhang]

[@hellogoodbye637]

I first had fig leaf ice cream at chez panisse and it rocked my world. Also I love your channel and I subscribed!

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Aw thank you! And I was so pleasantly surprised when I tried fig leaf for the first time :D

[@maudline]

That sounds delicious! I live in Northern Europe so have no idea where I would get fig leaves though 😅

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Haha yes the search for fig leaves limits this recipe much! Thank you :)

[@CloudyN1mbus]

I've never heard of using fig leaves in cooking before. I bet you could use them in a few other pastries too (before they fall off for the winter!) :)

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Yeah! I was so curious and excited to try out fig leaves when I heard they can be used for cooking!!

[@tiahnarodriguez3809]

You can do this same process with lemon leaves. The result is tasty.

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Woahhh. I have a lemon tree so I might try it out! Haha

[@i3abikay]

I want to be your friend so I can try all your wonderful cooking!

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Haha thank you!

[@elysiantulips5793]

what an odd flavour ??? im intrigued though! (i sometimes use leftover egg whites to make coconut macaroons :) try em out!)

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Right? I saw it online and was so intrigued that I made it haha.

[@daksharuparel537]

I make chutney from fig leaf

[@chrishuynh3366]

Idky but I could see it served with some fruit cake (not the Christmas one) with tons of fresh fruit and whipped cream served with it 😊

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

That sounds like a great combo! I wanted to eat it with some actual figs but couldnt find any at the store haha
