Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces fresh figs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon orange blossom water
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 cups pistachios
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Wash the figs, pat them dry, and slice them in half lengthwise.
Brush the cut side of the figs lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking to the grill.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, orange blossom water, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix until smooth and well combined. Set aside in the refrigerator to keep chilled.
Place the figs cut-side down on the hot grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the figs are slightly caramelized. Remove from the grill and set aside.
Chop the pistachios into small pieces for topping.
Assemble the sundaes by spooning a dollop of the orange blossom yogurt into individual serving bowls or glasses.
Place 3-4 grilled fig halves on top of the yogurt in each bowl.
Drizzle a generous amount of honey over the figs and yogurt.
Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the top for added crunch.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired for a pop of color and an extra layer of freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful blend of flavors and textures.
