I like to share food and have it as the centrepiece of the table but if you prefer, you could freeze the ice cream in individual bowls.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 5 egg yolks
- 75 g caster sugar
- 200 ml robust extra-virgin olive oil
- 300 ml thin cream
- 4 large ripe figs, torn
- 100 g halva, broken into coarse pieces
- 100 g piece fresh honeycomb
Freezing time: 12 hours
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs and sugar in a heat–proof bowl, then place over a saucepan of just simmering water and whisk until the sugar begins to dissolve.
- Transfer the egg mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk on high speed until light and fluffy. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil in a thin steady stream to emulsify. Reduce the speed to low and continue whisking until the mixture reaches room temperature.
- Meanwhile, whisk the cream until soft peaks form and refrigerate.
- Once the egg mixture has cooled, gently fold in the cream in 2 batches, being careful not to mix too hard and knock the air out of it. Line a 20-cm springform cake tin with baking paper with the paper extending over the sides. Pour the mixture into the lined tin and freeze overnight.
- To serve, place the ice cream, baking paper and all on a plate. Top with the torn figs, halva pieces and spoonfuls of the honeycomb.
