INGREDIENTS
1 X Vanilla sponge cake
Ice Cream:
- 500ml Refrigerated whipping cream
- Half a can of condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla paste or essence
- A pinch of salt
- Willow Creek Fig & Balsamic Reduction
Compote:
- Willow Creek Fig & Balsamic Reduction

- ¼ cup water
- Half a cup of blueberries

- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or essence
INSTRUCTIONS
- Mix the cream, condensed milk, vanilla paste and salt, place in an airtight container and freeze slightly.
- When your ice cream is slightly frozen, remove it from the freezer and drizzle over with Willow Creek Fig & Balsamic reduction. Give it a soft swirl stir, but don’t incorporate it fully into the mixture. Put it back in the freezer to set completely.
- Combine all compote ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Simmer until it reaches a thicker consistency and remove it from the heat (reheat before serving).
- Once the ice cream is set, serve with a rustic broken off piece of plain vanilla cake topped with your homemade Blueberry, Fig and Vanilla Balsamic Compote.
