It's hard to pick a flavor, just one flavor, to use in a milkshake at Il Laboratorio del Gelato. So let's make it easy—fig. They blend it up with whole milk, making for a clean, elegant, not too thick nor overwhelming shake. You won't feel too stuffed after this one. It's like drinking up chilly, sweet fig cream, every sip studded with a tease of tiny, tiny bits of fresh figs, seeds and all.
