This is super easy as all you have to make is the raspberry coulis which takes 10 minutes, but this is so perfect for these last days of late summer!
I have used fresh figs and raspberries straight from the Market next door, I love to use my favourite products when they're fresh and in season!

Steps

10 minutes

1

Put the raspberries in a small pan, cover with the icing sugar and start to warm up on a medium heat. They will start to get soft and break down, stir every now and then.
2

When soft, transfer into a bowl and blend briefly until smooth with a blender. Don't be tempted to over-blend, or you will start to break the seeds and that will discolour your coulis! Once ready, pass it through a sieve to retain the excess seeds, and then add the Port (this is not mandatory, but it gives it a nice kick as well as the right consistency!). Refrigerate.
3

Chop the figs into quarters, serve them in a circle on the plate, with the ice cream in the middle, and then cover with a splash of the raspberry coulis. If you want you can also add a dollop of whipped cream for extra-indulgence ;)

Amsterdam, the Netherlands

I am a passionate Italian who has lived in the UK for 10 years and has recently moved to Amsterdam. I travel quite a lot, and that is where my cooking inspiration comes from. My recipes are simple, but usually crowd pleasers – I am not so good at desserts (I make a mean tiramisu though!), but I am here to learn and be inspired! Also, I am no photographer, so give my recipes a go and judge them on the taste, despite how they look :D
