Ingredients
- 12 pieces fresh figs
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 2 tablespoons crushed pistachios or almonds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the fresh figs thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Make sure they are completely dry to avoid seizing the chocolate.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl.
Step 4
Add the teaspoon of coconut oil to the chocolate. This helps the chocolate melt smoothly and gives it a glossy finish.
Step 5
Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring thoroughly after each round until smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop.
Step 6
Hold each fig by the stem and dip it about halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off before placing it on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on the chocolate-dipped portion of each fig while the chocolate is still wet. If desired, add additional toppings such as crushed pistachios, almonds, or shredded coconut.
Step 8
Repeat the process with all the figs, ensuring they have enough space on the baking sheet to avoid touching.
Step 9
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
Step 10
Serve the chocolate-dipped figs immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
