Description

Ingredients

• 12-15 Brown Turkey Figs rinsed
• 1 cup Grand Marnier (optional)
• 1 cup Dark Chocolate (Dairy Free can be found at Trader Joes)
• Toppings: Raw unsweetened coconut, sea salt, zest from 1 orange and chopped pecans for crunch.
• 12-15 Brown Turkey Figs rinsed
• 1 cup Grand Marnier (optional)
• 1 cup Dark Chocolate (Dairy Free can be found at Trader Joes)
• Toppings: Raw unsweetened coconut, sea salt, zest from 1 orange and chopped pecans for crunch.
• Goat Cheese
• Crackers

Directions

• Pour your Grand Marnier into a bowl. Cut a small slit in the bottom side of each fig and sit your them upright (stem side up) in the bowl of Grand Marnier. They should be about half submerged in liqueur. Allow to infuse for 1-2 hours. Once infused, remove figs from dish and pat dry on a paper towel. Slice into halves. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Heat your dark chocolate in a double boiler or in 30 second intervals in the microwave, until fully melted. Dip your fig halves in dark chocolate and top each with toppings. Raw coconut, sea salt, orange zest or chopped pecans. Set aside to cool and allow the chocolate to harden, about 30 minutes. You can make the figs in advance and place them in the fridge in a sealed container for a few days if you choose, however they turned out best for me when made the night before. Serve with your holiday cheese course, favorite red wine, or use them to top ice-cream.
