1/8 tsp. ground cloves
8 ripe figs, halved lengthwise
1 1/3 cups Breyers® Natural Vanilla Ice Cream

INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1. Position broiler rack 6 inches from heat source and preheat broiler. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Breyers Natural Vanilla is made with fresh cream, milk, and sugar. All Breyers vanilla is real and comes from sustainably farmed, Rainforest Alliance Certified™ vanilla beans.
I appreciate the fact that Breyers only uses milk and cream from cows that aren’t treated with artificial growth hormones.* No wonder Breyers Natural Vanilla is America’s No. 1 vanilla ice cream!
*Suppliers of other ingredients such as cookies, candies & sauces may not be able to make this pledge. The FDA states that no significant difference has been shown between dairy derived from rBST-treated and non-rBST treated cows.
Happy 150th birthday Breyers!
