Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Dried figs
- 10 pieces Dried apricots
- 1 cup Shelled pistachios
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 5 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a food processor, pulse the shelled pistachios until finely ground but not pasty. Reserve a small amount for garnish if desired.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pistachios, cream cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Using a small knife, make a slit on one side of each dried fig and apricot to create a small pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, carefully stuff each fig and apricot with the pistachio cream filling. Gently press the openings closed to hold the filling in place.
Arrange the stuffed figs and apricots on a serving plate.
Dust them lightly with powdered sugar and sprinkle with the reserved ground pistachios for garnish.
Optionally, add fresh mint leaves for decoration.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
