Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh figs
- 200 grams Ricotta cheese
- 60 grams Walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 pinch Salt
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Wash the fresh figs gently and pat them dry with a paper towel. Using a small sharp knife, make a cross-shaped cut on the top of each fig, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will create a small pocket for the filling.
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, finely chopped walnuts, orange zest, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Using a small spoon, carefully fill each fig with the ricotta and walnut mixture. Do not overfill to ensure the figs stay intact.
Arrange the stuffed figs on a serving platter. Drizzle them generously with honey for added sweetness and shine.
Garnish the figs with freshly torn mint leaves for a pop of color and refreshing flavor.
Serve immediately as a luxurious appetizer or decadent dessert. Optionally, pair with a glass of dessert wine for an elegant touch.
