Ingredients
- 12 whole Dried figs
- 150 grams White chocolate chips
- 50 grams Hazelnuts
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
- 1 pinch Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the hazelnuts by toasting them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Let them cool, then finely chop or crush them into small pieces and set aside.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to create a non-stick surface for the fig kisses to cool.
Step 3
Using a knife, make a small slit in the side of each dried fig to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 4
Melt the white chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave. If microwaving, heat in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Stir in the teaspoon of unsalted butter to make the chocolate slightly thinner and easier to coat the figs.
Step 5
Dip each dried fig into the white chocolate, ensuring it is well-coated. Use a fork to lift the fig out, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
Step 6
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts over the top of each fig and lightly press them on to adhere. Add a tiny pinch of sea salt to each coated fig for a balance of flavors.
Step 7
Place the white chocolate-coated figs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don't touch one another. Continue until all figs are coated and garnished.
Step 8
Allow the figs to cool and the chocolate to set completely. This can be done at room temperature, which will take about 30 minutes, or in the fridge for 10-15 minutes for faster results.
Step 9
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the White Chocolate Fig Kisses to an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place. They can be enjoyed immediately or saved for up to one week.
