This is a fantastic ice cream recipe! The fig flavor is great (if you like figs and the tiny seeds add some nice texture. I also halved the white sugar like the other reviewers and it came out with just the right amount of sweetness. I used cheap brandy (E&J because that's all they had in the tiny bottles, but it still tasted great in the ice cream and the sauce.

This is only my second time making ice cream. This recipe didn't fluff up as much as the first recipe I tried, which didn't contain any eggs or many other ingredients. This recipe expanded by about 1/3 in the ice cream maker.

As for freezing time, mine was set to my liking after 12 hours in the freezer. When it was served it didn't melt easily. The other recipe I made (with no eggs took about 1.5 days to firm up and melted really easily when served, perhaps because it had no eggs.

This is an incredible ice cream recipe. What a punch of fig flavor. And to add the pine nuts to the top, took this dessert over the top. This is a really wonderful recipe that anyone who likes figs should try out.

This is beyond tasty. So rich and creamy. I halved the amount of white sugar based on one reviewer's comment the ice cream was overly sweet. Came out perfect. Would rate higher than 5 stars!

This ice cream is amazing! A little bit sweet but still very delicious. I even got my 5 year old daughter and husband - who both dislike figs - to eat this ice cream! very easy to make, but make sure you read the instructions of the ice cream maker first as mine needed 24 hours to chill in the freezer, which delayed the ice cream making.
