Ingredient Notes

You’ll need fresh figs, which can be replaced with peaches if figs are unavailable. For a sweetener, use high-quality honey; local varieties are often the best. Greek yogurt is a must for that creamy texture, but any plain yogurt works too. Lastly, a sprinkle of crushed pistachios adds extra crunch, though you can skip them if needed!

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Drizzle honey over the cut side of each fig, ensuring they’re well coated.
  2. Place the figs on the grill, cut side down, and grill for about 5-7 minutes, until caramelized.
  3. While figs grill, spoon Greek yogurt into serving bowls and top with the grilled figs.
  4. Drizzle extra honey over the top and sprinkle with crushed pistachios before serving.

Things I’ve Learned

Grilling figs can be tricky; choose ripe but firm figs to prevent them from falling apart. If you have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a day. They might lose some texture but can still be enjoyed cold or reheated briefly in a microwave. This dessert can be made ahead; just grill the figs a few hours before serving.

FAQs

Q: How should I store leftovers?
