Fresh Figs in Nightgowns

Anticipating the first crop of figs - going to be ripe soon! Can't wait to try with my home made Nutella! Source: Desserts 1-2-3 by Rozanne Gold NOTE: If you don't feel like dipping the figs, you can serve them whole with a ramekin of the sauce on the side, or cut the figs in half lengthwise and generously drizzle with the sauce.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 12  figs, large ripe purple
• 1  cup  nutella
• 1 1⁄2 cups plain yogurt

Directions

1. Wash figs and pat dry. Set aside.
2. Put Nutella in a warm place so it is easy to spoon. Or place the jar in a bowl of very hot water. Spoon Nutella into a clean, dry bowl. Whisk in 1 cup yogurt until completely smooth.
3. One by one, dip each fig into the mixture, holding it by its stem. Cover each fig completely or almost completely with a thin coating. Place on a large plate lined with wax paper. Refrigerate until very cold.
4. Serve a few tablespoons of plain yogurt alongside. This looks great presented on fresh fig, grape, or lemon leaves. Serve immediately with a fork and a knife.
