Servings: 4 -6
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbs. sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp. ground cloves
  • 8 ripe figs halved lengthwise
  • 1 1/3 cups Breyer's Natural Ice Cream
  • 1/4 cup blanched hazelnuts toasted, coarsely chopped

Method
 

  1. Position the broiler rack 6" from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. In a small bowl, mix sugar and spices. One at a time, dip figs, cut side down, in sugar mixture to coat. Then coat the figs a second time with the sugar mixture and arrange them cut side up on the baking sheet.
  3. Broil figs, watching closely, for about 4 minutes, or until sugar melts and begins to caramelize and figs soften slightly and begin to ooze their juice.
  4. Divide figs among 4 bowls. Spoon 1/3 cup of vanilla ice cream into each bowl and sprinkle with hazelnuts.
