If you are in the need of a nice dessert but simple to make try out my chocolate covered figs!
16 oz Fresh Figs
¼ cup Chopped Pistachios
1 cup Chocolate Chips
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
Wash the fresh figs and pat dry really good with paper towels; set aside. Make sure there is no water on the fruit.
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper, and sprinkle some chopped pistachios on top of the wax paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips. Microwave for 30 seconds, then check and stir. Repeat that step again one more time. If the chocolate hasn’t completely melted place it back in the microwave for10-20 seconds. Remove the container from the microwave and stir the chocolate until it’s completely melted.
To start dipping the Figs, hold from the stem and dip the chocolate until it’s ¾ covered. You may have to twist and turn your figs around in the bowl to covered them. With the side of the bowl gently scrape off any excess chocolate and place on the pistachio covered wax paper. Continue to repeat the dipping until all the figs are covered in chocolate.
Once All the figs are covered with chocolate, sprinkle them real well with the chopped pistachios and a tiny pinch each of the coarse sea salt. Place them in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to let the chocolate harden. Bring them out of the refrigerator and serve them! Enjoy!
[...] For dessert, a natural choice is chocolate, but for a touch of something different also opt for dried figs or maybe opt for these chocolate covered figs. [...]
