Chocolate-Dipped Fig Truffles

Inspired by an Ecuadorian confection called Dulce de Higos ('Sweet Figs') — a traditional dessert of preserved figs simmered in spices, candied, then served with soft local cheese such as queso fresco — Ashley chose tender, locally sourced black Mission figs as the foundation for a Dandelion version of the Ecuadorian delicacy. Each plump fig is hand-stuffed with creamy, spice-infused chocolate ganache, then hand-dipped in a generous layer of our 70% Camino Verde, Ecuador chocolate, and garnished with edible gold leaf. These California-grown Spanish figs, with their dark purplish skin and luscious honey flavor, are a variety similar to the Spanish figs enjoyed in Ecuador.
