“The great thing about this recipe is that it makes use of the fig tree’s extraordinary leaves. So even if you don’t get enough sun to ripen the fruit, you can still enjoy the unique flavor of this wonderful plant, somehow sweet and green at the same time. Toasting the leaves makes a huge difference to the depth of flavor in the finished ice-cream.” —Aaron Bertelsen
