Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh figs or dried apricots
- 150 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Chopped roasted almonds or pistachios (optional)
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
If using fresh figs, wash them gently under running water and pat them dry with a paper towel. If using dried apricots, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes to soften, then drain and pat dry.
Cut a small slit across the top of each fig or apricot, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will create a pocket to hold the mascarpone filling.
In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and Amaretto liqueur. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Using a small spoon or a piping bag, fill each fig or apricot with a generous dollop of the mascarpone mixture.
Drizzle the tops of the filled figs or apricots with honey for added sweetness.
If desired, sprinkle chopped roasted almonds or pistachios over the top for a delightful crunch and added flavor.
Transfer the filled figs or apricots to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an elegant touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy this luxurious treat!
