Prep time
Total time
 
If you cannot find artisan, handmade marshmallow fluff, then, as a last resort, opt for a jar of store-bought fluff found at World Market or most supermarkets.

Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 12 fresh figs
  • 1 box vanilla pizzelle cookies, such as Reko brand or any flat vanilla cookie
  • 1 jar marshmallow fluff
  • ½ cup crumbled pecans
  • 4 tablespoons local honey
  • 4 sprigs mint
Instructions
  1. Slice the stem end off and cut 8 of the figs in half lengthwise, leaving 4 figs whole. Place on a platter.
  2. Place 4 of the pizzelle cookies on a cutting board. Spread the marshmallow fluff generously on top of each all the way to the edge of the cookie. Sprinkle the top of the fluff lightly with the crumbled pecans. Place the fig halves skin-side-down on the fluff in a circular pattern with one whole fig standing in the middle of each cookie. Drizzle honey lightly over the figs.
  3. Place the completed pastry onto an individual serving plate. For garnish, take a sprig of mint by the hard stem and poke it into the top of the center fig of each dessert.
