Figs with walnuts and dark chocolate

This recipe is the ultimate healthy snack or dessert. It combines the meaty, sweet texture of fig with the crunch of walnut and the intensity of cocoa. To take this bite to gourmet level and enhance the fig’s sweet notes without adding sodium, we’ll use the secret of the best master chocolatiers: a pinch of Bonsalt 0%.

Ingredients

• 12 dried figs (or fresh if in season) of good quality

• 12 walnut halves, shelled

• 100g dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa)

• 1 teaspoon coconut oil (helps give the chocolate shine)

• Seasoning: A generous pinch of Bonsalt 0%.

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Fruit preparation: If using dried figs, remove the top stem. With a sharp knife, make a small lengthwise cut without separating them completely, creating a sort of "pocket".

2. Crunchy filling: Insert a walnut half into each fig and press lightly to close it. The contrast between the jammy fig pulp and the walnut is the base of this dessert.

3. Melting the chocolate: Chop the dark chocolate and melt it in a double boiler or in the microwave (in 30-second intervals so it does not burn) together with the coconut oil. Stir until you get a smooth, glossy cream.

4. The master touch: Add a pinch of Bonsalt 0% directly to the melted chocolate. The potassium in Bonsalt acts as an enhancer of cocoa flavonoids and brings out the fig’s natural sweetness, eliminating the need to add extra sugars.

5. Technical coating: Dip half of each fig in the melted chocolate. Drain off the excess and place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.

6. Crystallization: Let cool at room temperature or refrigerate for 5 minutes until the chocolate hardens and takes on its final texture.
