Chocolate Dipped Figs
Fancify your fresh figs this season and dip them in dark chocolate, then make them even prettier with edible glitter, sanding sugar, crushed pistachios, sea salt, and rainbow sprinkles!
Servings: 20 figs
Ingredients
- 20 fresh figs, halved
- 2 ounces dark chocolate chips
- a variety of sprinkles, edible glitter, sanding sugar, crushed pistachios, sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Make sure it can fit in your fridge.
- Cut the figs lengthwise down the middle and set aside.
- Put your sprinkling ingredients in small ramekins near the figs. You won't need very much of each, but you can always add more to the ramekin as needed, so start small.
- Place 2 ounces of dark chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. In 30 second increments, heat the chocolate, stir, and heat again. This should only take 2-3 turns, do not overheat.
- Pick each fig half up, one at a time and dip the bottom into the chocolate. Gently swirl around to get the chocolate as far up the fig as you want (halfway is where I aim for).
- Let the chocolate drip off, and quickly hold the fig over the ramekin with the sprinkle of your choice. Use your fingers to add a little sprinkle of your desired topping. If using edible glitter spray, hold over the sink for easier clean up. Set each fig space apart on the parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
- Let the figs chill in the fridge for at least one hour. Put any uneaten figs in a sealed plastic container.
- Eat within 3 days.
