Fresh Figs Dipped In Chocolate With Hazelnut Crumb
A drizzle of gorgeous dark chocolate over succulent fresh figs! Fab for a sweet snack or dessert!
Ingredients
- 12 small fresh ripe figs halved
- 100 g good quality dark chocolate coarsely chopped
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup hazelnuts toasted & coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Melt dark chocolate and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Remove from heat, add honey. Stir until mixture is smooth and well combined. Place hazelnuts into a shallow bowl.
- Dip each fig half way into the dark chocolate mixture. Place on a baking paper lined tray and allow to partially set – about 5 minutes before rolling in chopped hazelnuts. Return to tray and chill for 10 minutes to set before serving.
Notes
Tip: try to buy roasted hazelnuts that have skins removed. Otherwise roast in oven at 180 C for 10 minutes or until the hazelnuts are aromatic & lightly toasted and the skins are just starting to crack. Transfer nuts to a clean tea towel and gently rub together to remove their bitter skins. Coarsely chop skinned hazelnuts using a large kitchen knife or alternatively pulse for a few seconds in a food processor. Great too if figs are dipped in chocolate & sprinkled with pink Himalayan sea salt.
