Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces fresh figs
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 2 tablespoons crushed pistachios or almonds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
Wash the fresh figs thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Make sure they are completely dry to avoid seizing the chocolate.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl.
Add the teaspoon of coconut oil to the chocolate. This helps the chocolate melt smoothly and gives it a glossy finish.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring thoroughly after each round until smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop.
Hold each fig by the stem and dip it about halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off before placing it on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on the chocolate-dipped portion of each fig while the chocolate is still wet. If desired, add additional toppings such as crushed pistachios, almonds, or shredded coconut.
Repeat the process with all the figs, ensuring they have enough space on the baking sheet to avoid touching.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
Serve the chocolate-dipped figs immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
