Fig Ricotta Milkshake

When we were in Santorini, I tried fig-ricotta ice cream at a local restaurant and I couldn’t believe what I had been missing all these years. Creamy vanilla ice cream with hints of fig and an underlying taste of ricotta. It was a beautiful and delicious blend of something unexpected.

So in honor of that memorable trip, I chose a fig-ricotta milkshake made with 4 simple ingredients and a quick run through the blender. If you have a Trader Joes near you, this recipe will be even easier.

If you don’t, you can find fig butter in more upscale grocery stores or specialty shops. I even found some recently at TJ Maxx. I highly recommend buying Trader Joe’s ricotta as well. Many ricotta cheeses out there have no flavor but I find that TJ’s brand does a great job of having a creamy and classic ricotta taste that’s perfect for desserts and savory dishes.

Sometimes you want breakfast for dessert. But most times you want these double chocolate waffles with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate for dessert.

Isn’t it funny how our tastebuds work? What tastes amazing to one person might taste absolutely wretched to another. Tastebuds are also influenced by past experiences.

Honey Lemon Oat Muffins

Breakfast is quick and easy with these honey lemon oat muffins. They’re low in butter and sugar (skip the glaze for an even healthier muffin) and the hints of ginger really shine when paired with ginger tea. Also, they freeze really well (we froze half of them and then reheated them for dessert one day). I’ve…

  3. Thank you for making this milkshake! I loved the fig ice cream we had in Santorini, too, but I don’t ever see fig in ice cream here in the US. Somehow it never occurred to me to make it myself. Can’t wait to try this!

  4. This sounds delicious. I love figs and about anything to do with figs so I will make one of these soon.

  6. I’ve never heard of fig ice cream or fig butter, I feel like I’ve been missing out on something special! Definitely need to find some fig butter so I can try this recipe 🙂
