Fresh, ripe figs are the best. Sensuous, decadent and so delicious it almost seems wrong. So good, in fact, that it’s perhaps a little crazy to do anything to them except enjoy their sweet flavorful perfection. However, there are those times when madness and the presence of figs in your life intersect. Why not try stuffing your figs with rich, creamy macadamia filling with a burst of bright lemony flavor, and topping them with crunchy pecans and a drizzle of golden honey?

Maybe it’s not so insane after all…

Macadamia-Stuffed Figs
Serves about 4

6-8 large figs, or more if smaller ones
Macadamia cheese
1C macadamia nuts soaked 1hour or more
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
2T honey or agave syrup
1t vanilla extract
Dash of sea salt
Pecans and additional honey for garnish

Blend all “cheese” ingredients in food processor until smooth and fluffy, scraping down sides of processor if necessary to ensure even blending. Cut figs in half and use small spoon or spatula to mound about 1T of filling (depending on the size of the figs) in each half. Press a pecan sliver into the filling and drizzle with additional honey before serving.

Wicked delicious!
