Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 12 Black Mission or Brown Turkey figs, washed and sliced in half lengthwise
- 4 oz dark chocolate, melted
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare Figs: Wash the figs thoroughly under cold water, then slice each fig in half lengthwise to create uniform halves for dipping.
- Melt Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 15 to 20-second increments, stirring well between each interval until fully melted and smooth.
- Dip Figs: Dip each fig half into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated. Place the dipped figs on a tray lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Season and Set: Immediately sprinkle each chocolate-coated fig half with a pinch of flaky sea salt to enhance the flavor. Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy the figs immediately after chilling or store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They will keep fresh for 3 to 4 days.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) for the best flavor.
- Ensure figs are completely dry before dipping to help chocolate adhere properly.
- Flaky sea salt adds a delightful contrast but can be adjusted or omitted based on preference.
- For variation, consider adding finely chopped nuts or a drizzle of white chocolate as a garnish.
- Best served chilled but bring to room temperature for a few minutes before eating for softer texture.
