Mascarpone and Fig Ice Cream

350 ml of milk

Sugar to sprinkle the figs

Mix the milk, vanilla, and vanilla seeds. Put this mix in a pot at a lower heat until simmer. Remove it.

Mix the egg yolks and the sugar until is creamy. Slowly, incorporate the hot milk with vanilla.

Place this mixture at a low heat until is thicken. Set aside, and let it cool.

Wash the figs, and cut them in quarters. Place them in a pan, and sprinkle with sugar. Cook at low/medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and the figs are caramelized. Do not stir it. Let it cool.

Mix the cold milk cream with the mascarpone cheese. Incorporate the caramelized figs. Mix it. Put this mix in the ice cream maker for 20 minutes.......for sure.....you will ENJOY!!
