Figs elevate any dessert to gourmet status with their unique flavor.
Ingredients:
  • 120g (3/4 cup) whole hazelnuts
  • 215g (1 cup) caster sugar
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) cold water
  • 185ml (3/4 cup) thickened cream
  • 40.00 ml Frangelico or Grand Marnier liqueur
  • 6 firm ripe figs, thickly sliced
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Arrange hazelnuts on a baking tray and toast in the oven for about 10 minutes until fragrant. Remove from oven, place hazelnuts in a tea towel to remove skins, and roughly chop them. Line another baking tray with non-stick baking paper and spread the hazelnuts on top.
  • In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water and stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil without stirring. Use a pastry brush dipped in water to brush down the sides of the pan occasionally. Boil for 5 minutes or until toffee is golden. Remove from heat and let it sit until bubbles subside.
  • Pour the toffee over the hazelnuts on the tray. Let it cool and set for 15 minutes. Break the toffee into large pieces and place in a food processor to chop finely. Set aside.
  • Beat the cream and liqueur in a medium bowl with an electric beater until soft peaks form. Gently fold in half of the hazelnut praline using a large metal spoon until combined.
  • In individual serving bowls, arrange the figs and generously top them with the decadent hazelnut praline cream. Finish by sprinkling the remaining hazelnut praline on top before serving promptly.
