Ingredients
- 1 cup dried figs
- 100 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: Place the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until fully melted and smooth.
- Dip the figs: Using a fork or skewer, dip each dried fig into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated or partially coated as preferred.
- Set the chocolate: Place the chocolate-covered figs on a parchment-lined tray or plate. Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over each fig while the chocolate is still wet to enhance flavor.
- Allow to cool: Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature or place the tray in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes until hardened.
Notes
- Choose dried figs that are soft and plump for the best texture.
- You can use dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content for a richer antioxidant profile.
- Store finished figs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a fancy presentation, drizzle white chocolate over the set figs before serving.
