Figs with Clover Honey Ice Cream

Last summer I got into making homemade ice cream.
I'm hoping to get some fresh figs from our trees
to make this good sounding recipe this summer.
Homemade ice cream sweetened with clover honey
and topped with baked figs for a fabulous dessert.

Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups half-and-half
1-1/2 cups heavy (whipping) cream
6 egg yolks
1/2 cup plus 2 Tablespoons honey
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
12 large or 18 small ripe figs, halved lengthwise
1 Tablespoon sugar

Directions:
In saucepan over medium heat, combine half-and-half and heavy cream,
and heat until almost boiling. While cream heats, in a large bowl,
whisk egg yolks and honey until smooth.
Gradually whisk in half of the hot cream,
then return mixture to saucepan and cook over medium heat,
stirring constantly, until the mixture visibly thickens
and forms a custard, about 3 minutes. Do not let it boil,
or it will curdle. Remove from heat, let cool,
and then refrigerate to chill thoroughly.
Freeze custard in an ice cream machine
according to the manufacturer's directions.
Store in freezer until needed.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Choose baking dish large enough to
hold halved figs in a single layer.
Dot bottom of dish with butter.
Arrange figs in prepared dish,
cut sides up, and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake until bubbling hot and tender, about 15 minutes.
Top figs with some ice cream, remaining figs,
and any syrupy juices in the baking dish.
You will have ice cream left over. Serve immediately.
