You’ve heard of chocolate-covered strawberries, haven’t you? Of course you have! You’ve probably had some during the summer. But there is another one that I like more, that you probably haven’t heard of. It’s similar in concept, but it’s perfect for a chilly winter’s night. White chocolate figs dusted with gleaming and shimmering coarse sugar! These White Chocolate Whole Figs with Coarse Sugar are just the delicacy to indulge in by the fire with a plate of cheese or a basket of savoury buttered rolls.
Although decorating sugar is optional, I highly recommend it as an essential component of the recipe. The reason being that I feel it enhances the flavour and adds texture, while also providing context, illustrating glistening frost on a crisp cold day.
White Chocolate Figs For The Holidays
Figs are a perfect winter fruit and so underutilized. You may enjoy fig pudding or have it in your bread, but you can eat a fig whole, especially when you dip it in chocolate. I find white chocolate to be the ideal Christmas variety among dark, milk, and semi-sweet chocolates. It pairs nicely with winter fruits and it has the appearance of snow with makes it the obvious optical preference if you are hosting a themed Christmas dinner. All in all the three components of this sweet snack make it a visual treat as much as it is a tasty one.
Easy As 1, 2, 3
The preparation of this recipe requires practically no cooking. There are only three ingredients and three steps. All you have to do is melt, dip, and sprinkle your way to a sensational indulgence that will quickly become your new holiday favourite. If you are hosting a dinner for the holidays, you should adjust the recipe according to the number of guests you are expecting.

I have never had chocolate with figs before, these look so good and easy to make. Great for when you are short on time.
I just realized I’ve never even tried a fig before . Going to have to pick some up and give this recipe a shot . Looks good .
I think a lot of people have forgotten how ancient and traditional figs are during Christmas celebrations; they are a super food too. I use figs all the time in my traditional fruit cake (not that nasty hyper-bright jellied crap :fruit”). Thank you for the recipe, I think this is lovely and will have to try it.
So true! My pleasure!
Figs are pretty good they are even going to be better dipped in chocolate
