Fig Frozen Yogurt

Fig Frozen Yogurt

Ingredients:

1 Pint Figs, Halved and Frozen (about 2 1/2 Cups)*

1 1/2 Cups Whole Milk Greek Yogurt

1/4 Cup Honey

Add figs to a food processor, set aside. In a small bowl whisk together honey and yogurt, pour mixture over figs and pulse mixture until you have a soft serve texture. It’s alright if the mixture is streaky. Serve right away or scoop into a lidded container to freeze. Caution Do Not Over – process or the mixture will become warm and no good to use!

I serve this frozen yogurt with a Ginger and/or Toasted Coconut Wafer.

* I didn’t have fresh Figs so I bought some good quality dried fig and rehydrated them. Put figs into small saucepan and cover with boiling water. Place a plate over pan and let sit for 2~4 hours. Scoop figs out with a slotted spoon, place figs into a freezer bag and put into freezer. While figs are freezing reduce liquid in saucepan it makes a wonderful syrup. I used this instead of the honey. I also used Icelandic Yogurt it’s my preference.

I came across this recipe sometime ago. I had never been a big “Fig” fan until I made this for the first time. Now when I want a refreshing treat I make this with fresh or dried figs. By reducing the leftover juice it makes this wonderful syrup. You can use the syrup in or on the frozen yogurt or on pancakes, waffles, french toast or oatmeal.

Enjoy!
