Baklava Ice-Cream With Honey Poached Figs

Baklava Ice-Cream With Honey Poached Figs


1. Preheat oven to 200 degree C.

2. Spread the nuts onto a baking tray and cook for about 10 minutes, just until the nuts are golden and toasted.

3. Cool.

4. Grease and line two 6 1/2 cm deep loaf pans.

5. Stand ice cream at room temperature to soften, just so that it's workable-not melted.

6. Roughly chop the cooled nuts.

7. Add the cinnamon and sugar to the nuts and stir to combine.

8. Place 1 litre of the ice-cream into each loaf pan and spread evenly.

9. Sprinkle each with 1 cup of nut mixture.

10. Top with the remaining litre of ice-cream in each pan and top each with the remaining nuts, pressing the nuts on so that they stick in the ice-cream.

11. Wrap each pan with plastic wrap and then a layer of foil.

12. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.

13. To make the honey figs bring the water, honey and cinnamon to the boil in a saucepan.

14. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

15. Add the figs and cook another 15 minutes.

16. Cool slightly, transfer to a container and refridgerate for at least 2 hours.

17. To serve, slice the ice-cream and serve topped with some figs and drizzled with the syrup.
