Ingredients

  • 1 pint coconut vanilla ice cream, I love Coconut Bliss
  • 2 tbs crushed walnuts
  • 2 tbs raw pumpkin seeds
  • 10 dried golden figs
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 4 tbs maple syrup
  • 2 cans full fat coconut milk, using just the fat layer 1 can chilled in refrigerator

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan add water and figs.  Boil for 5 minutes.  Let figs cool to the touch.  Retain the water.  

  2. Add boiled figs, cinnamon, vanilla, sea salt, maple syrup, and 1 can of coconut milk unchilled and FAT LAYER ONLY to a blender.  Blend on high until smooth.  Use water from boiling the figs a tablespoon at a time to thin mixture if needed.  

  3. Empty water from sauce pan and return blended fig mixture to the saucepan.  Heat to a boil, stirring constantly.  As soon as the mixture starts to bubble reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.  Careful not to scorch.   Let cool slightly.

  4. In a bowl scoop out the fat layer from chilled coconut milk can.  Use a stick mixer or hand mixer to whip fat.  NOTE: can add honey or cinnamon to sweeten the fat whip.  

  5. Scoop out ice cream into four bowls.  Top with fig caramel sauce, coconut fat whip, walnuts and pumpkin seeds.
