Ingredients
- 12 dried figs
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) red wine
- Half stick cinnamon
- 4 whole cloves
- 1 star anise
- 1 strip lemon rind
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) full-fat ricotta cheese
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) icing sugar
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) whipping cream
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) grated lemon rind
- Dash vanilla
Preparation
In small heavy-bottomed, nonaluminum saucepan, combine figs with 1/2 cup/125 mL water, wine, cinnamon, cloves, star anise, lemon rind and granulated sugar; let stand for 1 hour or until figs are soft and slightly puffed.
Bring to boil; lower heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Uncover and increase heat to medium-high; boil until liquid is reduced to about 3 tbsp/45 mL, about 2 minutes. Let cool; remove spices.
Using electric mixer, beat ricotta with icing sugar until smooth, about 3 minutes. Beat in cream, lemon rind and vanilla. Place mound of cream on each plate; surround by 3 halved figs. Drizzle fig syrup over cream.
Makes 4 servings.
