Scale
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks
- 10 fresh figs, halved
- 1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan sea salt
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring halfway through to ensure all the chocolate pieces are fully melted and smooth.
- Dip the figs: Dip half of each fresh fig into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off, then place the dipped figs on parchment paper in a single layer.
- Add sea salt: Sprinkle each dipped fig with a pinch of pink Himalayan sea salt to enhance the chocolate’s flavor and add a subtle salty contrast.
- Harden the chocolate: Let the chocolate-set figs rest at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours, allowing the chocolate to harden completely before serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for the best flavor.
- Ensure figs are fresh and firm for easy dipping and optimal taste.
- For faster hardening, place figs in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes, but bring them back to room temperature before serving for best texture.
- Variations include adding toppings such as chopped nuts or drizzle of white chocolate.
