How to Prepare Chocolate-Stuffed Figs in Date-Orange Sauce [Vegan]
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the chocolate chips, almonds, vanilla, orange juice, orange zest, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom in a food processor and pulse-chop for a minute, or until the almonds and chocolate chips are well chopped. Do not process into a paste. Transfer to a small bowl.
- Slice off the very top of the figs, and using a 1/2 teaspoon measuring spoon, fill each fig with the filling and top with a whole almond. Place in a small casserole dish.
- Prepare the sauce by blending all of its ingredients well. Pour the sauce into the casserole dish. Bake for 10 minutes. Garnish with mint leaves and serve warm.
