Ingredients:
- 4 bars of white chocolate
- 24 dried figs
- 1/2 cup pistachios, finely chopped
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth and creamy. |
| 2 | While the chocolate is melting, prepare a tray by lining it with wax paper, ensuring there’s enough space between each fig for dipping. |
| 3 | Once the chocolate is fully melted, take a dried fig and dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. |
| 4 | After dipping the fig, gently roll it in the finely chopped pistachios, covering it evenly with the nutty goodness. |
| 5 | Place the chocolate-coated fig onto the prepared tray, making sure to leave a bit of space between each kiss. |
| 6 | Repeat the process with the remaining figs until all are coated in chocolate and pistachios. |
| 7 | Once all the fig kisses are prepared, transfer the tray to the refrigerator to chill briefly until the chocolate has hardened, approximately 10-15 minutes. |
| 8 | Once the chocolate has set, remove the fig kisses from the refrigerator and store them in an airtight container. Layer the kisses between sheets of wax paper to prevent sticking. |
| 9 | Enjoy these delightful Chocolate Fig Kisses straight from the refrigerator as a refreshing treat or serve them at room temperature for a softer texture. |
Tips:
- For a twist, try using dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate for a richer flavor profile.
- Experiment with different coatings such as shredded coconut or crushed almonds for added variety.
- Ensure the figs are dried properly to prevent excess moisture, which can affect the texture of the kisses.
- Get creative with presentation by drizzling melted chocolate over the chilled kisses for an elegant touch.
- These Chocolate Fig Kisses make for wonderful homemade gifts. Package them in decorative boxes or jars tied with ribbon for a thoughtful gesture.
