Ingredients

300 g ripe fresh figs
180 g caster sugar
juice of 1 lemon
200 g heavy whipping cream (at least 36% fat)

Instructions

1. Wash whole figs and cut in half, place in a heavy-duty blender with the caster sugar and lemon juice and mix until pulverised.
2. Add in the heavy cream and mix again. Place in a shallow container and freeze at least 2 hours, until set.
