How to Make Walnut And Ricotta Stuffed Figs

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced).
  2. Gently cut each fig from the top, creating a quarter-circle shape. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
  3. Open the figs slightly to create a pocket.
  4. Arrange the figs on a baking tray.
  5. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Mix well.
  6. Spoon the walnut-ricotta mixture into the center of each opened fig.
  7. Bake the figs uncovered for 10-12 minutes, or until heated through and slightly softened.
  8. While the figs are baking, prepare the caramel sauce: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, and a pinch of sea salt.
  9. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce begins to thicken slightly (about 3-5 minutes).
  10. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  11. To serve, place 2-3 stuffed figs in each serving dish.
  12. Drizzle generously with the salted caramel sauce.
