Step-by-step
- Break up the chocolate, put into the bowl of a food processor and chop as finely as possible. Tip out into a bowl and set aside.
- Put the figs into the processor bowl and chop roughly. Add the milk and sugar and process to make a smooth purée.
- Whip the cream until soft peaks form then fold in the chopped chocolate and the fig purée. Turn the mixture into the ice-cream machine, if you have one, and churn until frozen. You can also freeze the mixture into a freezer container and freeze until firm. Best eaten within a few days.
