A delicious summertime treat with caramelized figs, toasted hazelnuts, and vanilla ice cream.

Delicious Spice Roasted Figs with Hazelnuts and Ice Cream

I recreated this Spice Roasted Figs with Hazelnuts and Vanilla Ice Cream by Chef Curtis Stone and his wife, Lindsay Price Stone.

Fig Hazelnut Ice Cream Ingredients

I have to admit, I had an interesting time trying to find the figs and hazelnuts for this recipe as they are seasonal ingredients. Figs are in season during June and August-October. I found out that the local and big chain stores only carry figs during these certain times of the year. I made this recipe in early August, so I had to get these two ingredients at a specialty grocery store.

I also had a great learning experience with this recipe. I could only find raw hazelnuts. So I learned how to blanch and toast them myself. If you need to know how to do this as well, learn how here.
