Baked Figs with Honey and Whiskey Ice-Cream - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 100 ml (3 1/2 fluid ounces) whiskey
- 140 ml (1/4 pint) full-fat milk
- 285 ml (1/2 pint) double cream
- 6 medium egg yolks
- 55 g (2 ounces) clear honey
- Baked Figs
Instructions
- Heat a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add 75 ml (2 3/4 fl oz) of the whisky and flame to burn off the alcohol. Once the flames have died down, stir in the milk and cream. While this is coming to a boil, whisk the egg yolks and honey together with a standing or handheld mixer until they have doubled in size and become fluffy.
- Take the milk and cream off the heat and pour half onto the egg yolks. Whisk until combined, then put to one side.
- Put the remainder of the milk and cream back onto the heat and, when it is boiling, add the egg mixture, turn down the heat and whisk constantly for approximately 1 minute.
- Pour into a large bowl to lower the mixture's temperature and stir in the last 25 ml (3/4 fl oz) whiskey. Cover and chill.
- Once thoroughly cool, churn in an ice-cream machine. Alternatively, pour into a freezerproof container, put in the freezer and beat every 20 minutes until set.
- Place the warm figs in 6 shallow bowls or on 6 plates, pour over some syrup and put a scoop of honey and whiskey ice-cream in the centre.
