Instructions

Combine 1/4 cup fig purée and 1/2 cup whole milk in a blender. Blend on medium for 20 seconds to mix.
Add 2 cups vanilla ice cream and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract to the blender.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 seconds until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
Check consistency. Add 1 tablespoon milk at a time if too thick, or 1/4 cup additional ice cream if too thin.
