Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh figs
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 0.5 teaspoons Mint extract
- 1 teaspoons Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Chopped pistachios (optional)
- 1 pinches Flaky sea salt (optional)
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
Instructions
Wash and dry the fresh figs. If desired, trim the stems slightly, but keep the figs whole for easier dipping.
Line a baking tray or plate with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces to ensure it melts uniformly.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Once melted, stir in the mint extract until fully combined.
Dip each fig into the melted chocolate, coating about two-thirds of the fruit. Let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
Place the dipped fig onto the parchment paper. If desired, sprinkle chopped pistachios and a light pinch of flaky sea salt over the chocolate before it sets.
Repeat the dipping process for all figs.
Allow the chocolate to cool and harden at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or speed up the process by placing the tray in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
Serve the Chocolate Mint Figs as a beautiful, bite-sized dessert. Enjoy!
