"This is a wonderful appetizer of Sweet juicy figs stuffed with a mixture of cream cheese, pine nuts, honey and the magic ingredient Amarula Cream Liqueur (Bailey 's can be used in it's place. Then lovingly wrapped in Proscuitto!"

Fabulous! Easy to make, and fancy enough for a cocktail party. Instead of stuffing the figs, I sliced them in half and just put the filling on each half. Nice combination of salty and sweet!

Excellent and easy appetizer. I had never had fresh figs and found this recipe. Great flavor and very easy.

Absolutely STUNNING! Rita, I have made these THREE times now, and we LOVE them! These deserve 10 stars - so classy and tasty! In the absence of Amarula, I added a little cognac.......tasted great! I served these with chilled Spanish sherry and small rounds of Ficelle French bread - I had to hide some, as they all disappeared in a trice! Made as a thank you to the Goddess of All things Figgy! Merci ma leetle petits pois! FT/Karen:-)
