Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces dried figs
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 15 grams unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons coarse sea salt
- 3 tablespoons chopped pistachios or almonds
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Start by preparing the dried figs. Using a sharp knife, make a small slit at the base of each fig, creating a cavity without cutting all the way through. Set the figs aside.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate, unsalted butter, and heavy cream.
Place the bowl over a saucepan filled with simmering water (double boiler method). Stir gently until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each fig cavity with the melted chocolate mixture until it is slightly overflowing.
Sprinkle a pinch of coarse sea salt and a few chopped pistachios or almonds on each filled fig while the chocolate is still warm.
Place the filled figs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the figs to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
