Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 6–8 fresh figs
Filling
- 6 oz brie cheese, rind removed
- 2 tsp honey
- 1 pinch cane salt
Topping
- Sugar (for caramelizing, quantity as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare Figs: Cut the figs in half and carefully scoop out the insides into a food processor, preserving the fig shells for stuffing.
- Make Filling: Remove the rind from the brie and add the cheese inside to the fig pulp in the food processor along with honey and a pinch of cane salt.
- Process Mixture: Blend the fig, brie, honey, and salt together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Stuff Figs: Transfer the fig brie mixture into a piping bag, a ziplock bag with a corner cut off, or use a spoon. Carefully fill the hollowed fig halves without overfilling to prevent the filling from sliding off during brûlée.
- Chill: Cover the stuffed figs and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set, or up to 24 hours if preparing ahead of time.
- Caramelize Sugar: When ready to serve, pour sugar into a small bowl. Roll each stuffed fig in the sugar to coat evenly. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar on top, creating a crisp brûlée surface.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately after torching for the best flavor and texture contrast.
Notes
- Be careful not to overfill the figs to avoid spilling during caramelizing.
- If you don’t have a kitchen torch, you can briefly broil the sugared figs in the oven, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- This recipe can be prepared up to a day in advance and kept chilled until ready to brûlée.
- Use ripe, soft figs for the best texture and flavor.
- For a dairy-free alternative, substitute brie with a soft vegan cheese.
