Ingredients
- 1 cup dried figs
- 150 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- Sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate: Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
- Dip the figs: Hold each dried fig by the stem or use a fork and dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is well-coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Set the chocolate: Place the chocolate-covered figs on a parchment-lined tray. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over each fig for added flavor contrast.
- Allow to set: Let the figs sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens completely, which usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor and smooth texture.
- You can store the chocolate-covered figs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- For a festive touch, try adding crushed nuts or shredded coconut along with the sea salt before the chocolate sets.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian.
