🍫 Chocolate-Dipped Figs Ingredients

• 12 fresh figs (or dried figs, halved if large)
• 6 ounces dark chocolate (60–70% cocoa), chopped
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter (for smooth melting)
• Optional Toppings:
  • Flaky sea salt
  • Chopped pistachios, almonds, or hazelnuts
  • Dried rose petals or shredded coconut
  • Melted white chocolate (for drizzling)

🍘 How To Make Chocolate-Dipped Figs

1. Prepare the figs:
   Wash and dry fresh figs completely. If using dried figs, ensure they’re soft and pliable (soak in warm water for 5 minutes if needed, then pat dry).
2. Melt the chocolate:
   In a heatproof bowl, combine chocolate and coconut oil. Melt using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
3. Dip the figs:
   Holding each fig by the stem (or using a skewer), dip it halfway into the melted chocolate. Let excess chocolate drip off gently.
4. Add toppings:
   Place dipped figs on a parchment-lined tray. Immediately sprinkle with sea salt, nuts, or desired toppings before the chocolate sets.
5. Chill:
   Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
6. Serve:
   Serve at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Choose your figs: Fresh figs give a juicy bite, while dried figs offer a chewy, caramel-like texture.
• Use quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the richer the flavor — dark, milk, or even ruby chocolate all work.
• Keep them dry: Any moisture will make the chocolate seize, so dry figs completely before dipping.
• Flavor twist: Add a touch of cinnamon, orange zest, or chili powder to melted chocolate for a gourmet flair.
• Perfect for gifts: Once set, wrap them in parchment and tie with twine for a simple, elegant homemade gift.
