Baci Di Fichi Fig Kisses

A simple & delicious seasonal treat that's so easy and straight-forward. Simply dip the fresh figs into melted chocolate and sprinkle with lightly toasted hemp hearts. Use whatever nuts/seeds or chocolate your love or have on hand. Half the figs if they are too big. Make sure the figs are dry before dipping into the chocolate or they won't stick. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Baci Di Fichi Fig Kisses

adapted from Taste

50 g Hemp seeds
12-14 Small ripe but firm figs, rinsed and dried
150 g Quality white chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 tsp Coconut oil

In a dry skillet, toast the hemp hearts over a gentle, low heat. Shake the skillet consistently. When the seeds begin to give off a toasty fragrance, remove from heat and transfer to a plate. It takes 1-2 minutes.
Rinse figs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Melt chopped white chocolate and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Remove from heat and stir until smooth.
Dip each fig into the chocolate to coat two-thirds of the way up. Gently roll in hemp seeds. Place on a baking-paper lined tray and chill for 15 minutes or until set, then serve.
