  • 12 ripe figs
  • 2 tablespoons icing sugar
  • 2 teaspoons colored sprinkles
  • A few mint leaves
  • 12 cl frozen red fruit coulis
Preparation
  • Preparation time: 15 minutes

As a professional chef with years of experience crafting seasonal desserts, this recipe highlights the natural sweetness of fresh figs, glazed to perfection and paired with vibrant red berry coulis for a sophisticated finish.

Gently wash the figs, cut them into quarters, sprinkle with icing sugar, and bake briefly in the oven to create a glossy glaze.

Spread a thin layer of red fruit coulis on the bottom of 4 dessert plates.

Arrange the glazed figs harmoniously in a circle on the coulis.

Sprinkle with colored sprinkles and garnish with a few mint leaves.

For contrast, serve the warm figs over cold coulis, or allow them to cool before plating. In season, add fresh raspberries for extra flair.
