Chocolate and fruit is always a good idea, right? I’ve repeatedly said that figs have a delicate flavor which can easily be paired with other flavors so they are absolutely perfect to pair with some chocolate (and slivers of almonds too).
These desserts would be so easy to make for a party and they are sure to be a hit! Whenever I plan a party, I look for foods that can be made quickly because generally I’m running around with my head cut off working on last minute details. These dessert fig pops can be made in just a few minutes so they are perfect.
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ¼ cup almond slices (optional)
- 6 Fresh Figs
- In a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips
- Insert a Lollipop Stick into a Fresh Fig
- Dip the Fig into the melted chocolate
- Dip the fig into almond slices if desired (I did 50/50 on adding the almonds)
- Let cool on parchment paper
I opted to put almond slices on half of them because I know that not everybody likes nuts (random fact – I like certain nut products and flavors, but not actual nuts; it is a texture thing for me).
I will warn you that sometimes the figs like to fall off the sticks so eat them carefully. Fortunately they are so delicious you will want to eat them quickly. What other toppings would you add to the chocolate other than almonds?
Chocolate and figs isn’t a combination I think I’ve ever had before.
Such an easy, yet elegant dessert idea! 🙂
Delish! So easy but sooooo good.
You know- I’ve never had a real fig before. These sound amazing though!
Ohh I’ve never had figgy chocolates!
This makes me really want figs now! Sounds delicious
I love figs and I have the best fig tree! So glad I found you, I’m always needing ideas on how to use them!
