    Creamy Anjeer Delight – Dried Fig Ice Cream with a Nutty Twist

    Ingredients:

    1 cup dried figs (Anjeer), chopped

    1 ½ cups whole milk

    1 cup heavy cream

    ¾ cup condensed milk

    2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)

    1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder

    1 tablespoon rose water (optional)

    2 tablespoons chopped pistachios (for garnish)

    Directions:

    Soak the chopped dried figs in warm water for 30 minutes until softened. Drain and blend into a coarse paste.

    In a saucepan, heat milk and sugar over medium heat until it comes to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally.

    Add the fig paste and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.

    Fold in the heavy cream gently until well combined.

    Pour the mixture into an airtight container and freeze for 6–8 hours, or until firm. Stir every 2 hours to break ice crystals for a smoother texture.

    Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. Scoop and garnish with chopped pistachios.
