This easy roasted figs dessert and delicious ice cream topping is the perfect dessert for easy entertaining. You will love how simply sweet and creamy it is.
Position broiler rack 6 inches from heat source and preheat boiler. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, mix sugar and spices.
One at a time, dip figs, cut side down, in sugar mixture to coat. Then coat figs a second time with sugar mixture and arrange cut side up on the baking sheet.
Broil figs, watching closely, for about 4 minutes, or until sugar melts and begins to caramelize and figs soften slightly and begin to ooze their juice.
Divide figs among 4 bowls.
Spoon 1/3 cup of Breyers® Natural Vanilla Ice Cream into each bowl and sprinkle with hazelnuts.
Notes
This recipe was created by Chef Curtis Stone and his wife, Lindsay Price Stone, for Breyers.Change it up - We'll also use this simple spiced sugar blend and roasting method to try out other fruits too. Fruits with a similar flavor profile would be dates, prunes, or pears.Keep a close eye on your figs while they roast. I mentioned this earlier, but it's worth sharing twice. They will burn quickly if you aren't careful!
