How to use dried figs to make Anjeer Badam Ice Cream | Fig almonds Ice Cream
The dried figs i used were a bit hard, so I had to first soak them in warm water till they were soft.
Once soft I blended it and added to the ice cream base.
How to make Ice cream base
This recipe to make ice cream base is full proof, will remain the same for any of the ice cream you wish to try.
However, you can use any flavor like tutti frutti, butterscotch or fruit of your choice.
– To make base for ice cream always use full fat milk like buffalo milk. I would suggest not to use toned, skimmed or cow milk.
– Next, always make a mixture of raw milk, powdered sugar, cornflour and milk powder. Whisk it well and cook on low flame by stirring constantly for 5 to 7 minutes.
Once it comes to rolling boil and turns thick remove it from the stove. Cool and sieve it. Keep it aside.
– Always use chilled whipping cream. Whip it to medium soft peaks. Add condensed milk and sieved milk-cornflour mixture we prepared earlier.
That’s it. So tell me, what is your favourite ice cream flavour and have you ever tried to make it at home?

- Sprinkle the sugar-salt mixture over the almonds, stir to coat all almonds. Make sure every piece of almond is coated well.
- Let them cool and dry completely.
- Store in an airtight container for further use.
To make ice cream base
- In a thick bottom pan combine raw buffalo milk, cornflour, powdered sugar and milk powder. Whisk in well.
- Switch on the stove and bring this milk mixture to a rolling boil on a slow flame stirring constantly so that it shouldn't stick to the bottom.
- Cook this for about 5 to 7 minutes, once it turns thick remove from the stove and let it cool completely. Sieve it and set aside.

Make Figs/anjeer paste

Notes
1. I used dried figs for this recipe however, fresh one would taste good also. If you can get hold of fresh figs, please use 4 to 5 pieces.
2. Make sure to cook fresh figs in 1/4 cup milk and then use to make ice cream
3. Adjust sugar according to taste. Remember we have used honey coated almonds and figs are naturally sweet so do not go overboard with sugar.
