I love classic ice cream flavors such as chocolate, vanilla, cookie dough (anyone?). However, sometimes I want something that feels a bit more sophisticated. Although I’m no longer a student, fall always feels like a time when I want to really get by sh*t together and be the best version of myself. Organizing the closet, reading more, pretending I’m always the person who chooses something subtle and refined (changing my manicure from silver hologram foil to a minimal beige and rose gold). Fall is that time for me.

On Instagram, I’m part of a collaboration called Head Out With Us where my co-creators and I choose a theme each month and then shop for the items and create something within that theme. September is #fallinspo. I wanted to make a dessert and originally was considering making something with apple or pumpkin. Upon more consideration, I wanted to do something a bit unexpected as there’s plenty of time for apple and pumpkin. I decided I wanted to do something with figs which actually have two seasons – one in the first few weeks of June and then another in August through October.

With that in mind, the idea for a no churn ricotta and fig ice cream recipe was born. I also figured it’s a great time to get the last licks of ice cream in before the whether turns colder and we all have our minds on cookies, apple cider doughnuts, and hot chocolate.

This is so easy and delicious. Since it’s a no churn recipe, you don’t even need an ice cream maker and to be honest, not even that many ingredients.

No Churn Ricotta & Fig Ice Cream
Prep Time
30 mins
 

No churn ice cream with ricotta and honey roasted black mission figs

Course: Dessert
Keyword: dessert, figs, ice cream, no churn, ricotta
Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
  • 16 oz whole milk ricotta
  • 8 oz heavy cream
  • 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
Honey Roasted Figs
  • 16 oz ripe black mission figs
  • 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
Honey Roasted Figs
  1. Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees.

  2. Gently wash figs in cold water and dry them off. Figs are delicate so don't douse them in water.

  3. Remove stems from the figs and slice them in half lengthwise and then across so they are in quartered pieces.

  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment and arrange the figs on the sheet with the cut side up.

  5. Drizzle the honey over the figs.

  6. Roast the figs until the honey starts to bubble and figs look caramelized. This took about 25 minutes in my oven.

  7. Set aside to cool.

Ice Cream
  1. Place the heavy cream in a bowl (I use a KitchenAid mixer) and beat into whipped cream. The cream should form stiff peaks. I beat the cream on high; however, if you're new to making whipped cream, I would use a lower speed. This will take longer, but you'll avoid accidentally turning your cream into butter.

  2. Pour the whipped cream into a large bowl and set aside.

  3. Combine the ricotta, condensed milk, salt, and vanilla extract in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth.

  4. Fold the ricotta mixer into the whipped cream.

  5. Pour the mixture in a freezer safe container. I like using my Wilton loaf pans and then wrapping the pan with freezer safe plastic wrap. Layer the fig mixture into the ice cream. I started with pouring a layer of the ice cream base into the pan, then adding figs, pouring more ice cream, adding figs, etc. You can go as light or as heavy on the figs as you want.

  6. Let the ice cream freeze for about 4-6 hours, at least - I left mine in the freezer over night before serving it.

Recipe Notes

Make sure all of your ingredients are cold. I even like chilling the bowl to my KitchenAid mixer.

I’m a super nerd who likes making resolutions an I’m a super nerd who likes making resolutions and goals at the beginning of the new year. Here are some of my hosting resolutions this year:⁣
⁣
• Be more present with my guests. I have a tendency to want to clean up and make everything perfect when guests are over. This takes me away from being fully present in conversations with my guests and I really want to change that this year.⁣
⁣
• To add onto the above - be less of a perfectionist.⁣
⁣
• Have more impromptu, smaller gatherings at my apartment.⁣
Happy New Year, all! Been thinking a lot about my Happy New Year, all! Been thinking a lot about my little space here on the Internet. I started my feed and blog in 2018 after moving to a job which allowed me more work-life balance to explore my creativity again. ⁣⁣⁣
•⁣⁣⁣
I intended this to be all about modern manners & home entertaining. I don’t really talk about manners too much on here anymore (although I still think they’re important, for the record). Further, I’ve learned that the most important parts of hosting to me are the people, food/drinks I’m sharing with them, and creating a warm atmosphere. I used to be super concerned with everything being perfect and curated to the Nth degree; however, after hosting tons of parties at my apartment between 2018 and now, I’ve realized that no one really gives a f*** about the kind of plates you have, a table scape, or even if you just ordered pizza and opened up a bottle of wine rather than cooking. ⁣⁣⁣
•⁣⁣⁣
If I’m being completely honest, the name of my blog feels a little too precious for me now and for me, doesn’t resonate as much as it once did. I’m not sure what you guys can expect from this platform in the new year - maybe a name change, definitely more of my baking adventures, maybe more of a lifestyle vibe. I haven’t really decided or figured it out yet. ⁣⁣⁣
•⁣⁣⁣
Admittedly this platform has also taken a backseat to other work/projects that I’ve been more interested in lately. I guess a reminder to all of us that it’s ok to try new things, change, and shift priorities. As the saying goes - when you’re through changing, you’re through. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wishing everyone the best for 2020 and beyond!

As many of you have probably heard me mention befo As many of you have probably heard me mention before, I love podcasts and listen to them while cooking, baking, and getting ready in the morning. Here are a list of some of my favorites from 2019. Some are old standbys and some are new to me. ⁣
⁣
(1) The Daily from  @nytimes - I listen to this podcast everyday while doing my makeup before work. Basically 20-30 minutes on timely topics in politics and culture;⁣
⁣
(2) @howibuiltthisnpr - I love listening to founders on how they started and grew their companies. I find the ones who had some failures or a rocky start most interesting. My favorite episodes were on Bonobos, Whole Foods, and Glossier;⁣
⁣
(3) @presssendpodcast from Chinae Alexander - This is a new favorite from social entrepreneur, Chinae Alexander. She and her guest of the week give advice to listeners who write in with questions about everything from how to find a job you like to dealing with difficult family at the holidays;⁣
⁣
(4) @uuppod - super funny podcast on modern dating and relationships;⁣
⁣
(5) Heavyweight from @gimletmedia - the theme of this podcast centers on moments that people wish they could change or understand better. Some of these moments seem amusing and even trivial (to the outsider listening); others are serious and touching. I especially love the host’s dry and sarcastic sense of humor which is injected into the episodes no matter what the subject matter is that week; and to me, adds levity to a podcast that focuses on confronting the ghosts of one’s past (no matter how big or small). ⁣
⁣
I told myself I’d limit this list to 5 - but a few others worth checking out are Where Do We Begin with Esther Perel, Girlboss Radio, and Fresh Air with the always wonderful, Terry Gross. ⁣
⁣
Do you have any favorites?
Sharing another delicious #cookie that we love to Sharing another delicious #cookie that we love to bake every year. Pignoli cookies - have you ever tried one?⁣
⁣
What is everyone up to for the holiday season? I’ll be sticking around town, seeing family and friends, and planning for 2020. ⁣
⁣
I’ve been busy with other projects outside of the blog so if you’ve noticed you see less of me on here lately, that’s why.  As I set my intentions and goals for the new year, I’ve been thinking of maybe rebranding this platform to tilt to more #lifestyle content than just parties, food, and baking. But right now 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️. ⁣
⁣
On that note, happy #saturday, friends!
Understated holiday looks that feature metallics a Understated holiday looks that feature metallics are totally my vibe. Call me the grinch, but for my apartment,  I’m not big on anything that screams holiday too loudly. I try as best as I can to match my holiday decor to my everyday decor. #typeapersonality
Every year, my mom and I bake tons of cookies - it Every year, my mom and I bake tons of cookies - it’s a tradition I always look forward to each holiday season. ⁣
⁣
We do everything from simple spritz sugar cookies to labor intensive rainbow cookies (which if I’m keeping it 💯 - most of us have only had purchased from an Italian bakery bc they are that labor intensive). One of our favorites to make is a Mexican wedding cake - it’s made with lots of confectionary sugar, butter, and chopped pecans. They are heaven and I always eat too many. ⁣
