Ingredients
Scale
Figs and Filling
- 6–8 fresh figs
- 6 oz brie cheese
- 2 tsp honey
- 1 pinch cane salt
Topping
- Granulated sugar (for caramelizing)
Instructions
- Prepare the figs: Cut the figs in half and carefully scoop out the insides into a food processor, leaving hollowed-out fig shells for stuffing.
- Prepare the brie mixture: Remove the rind from the brie cheese and add the soft cheese inside to the food processor along with honey and a pinch of cane salt.
- Blend the filling: Process the fig and brie mixture until smooth and creamy.
- Stuff the figs: Transfer the mixture into a piping bag, a ziplock bag with the edge cut off, or use a spoon to fill the hollowed figs. Be careful not to overfill to prevent the mixture from sliding off during caramelizing.
- Chill the stuffed figs: Cover the stuffed figs and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the filling to set. They can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Caramelize the sugar: When ready to serve, pour granulated sugar into a small bowl. Roll each stuffed fig in the sugar to coat evenly. Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar on top until golden and crisp.
- Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet, creamy, and caramelized bites.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm figs for the best texture and flavor.
- If you don’t have a kitchen torch, you can broil the figs briefly under a grill but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- The fig and brie mixture can be prepared a day in advance for convenience.
- For a different sweetness level, adjust the amount of honey to your preference.
- Be cautious not to overfill to prevent the filling from spilling during the caramelizing step.
