4 Ingredient Fig & Pecan Cups
If quick and delicious is what you are looking for in a snack, these four-ingredient fig & pecan cups are the perfect solution. With just a few simple ingredients - pecans, figs, dates, and dark chocolate - they are not only easy to make but taste fantastic! A great alternative to more highly processed snacks.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups medjool dates, pitted (200g)
- 1 cup dried figs (150g)
- 1 cup unsalted pecans (100g) + 12 more for the top
- 100 g dark chocolate
Instructions
- Chop the stalk from the figs and take the stone from the dates. Add them to a food processor with 1 cup of pecans. Blend until they form a sticky ball.
- Separate into 12 equal pieces. Press down into a silicone cupcake tray (or paper cases). Refrigerate whilst you melt the chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate over a pan of hot water. Spoon over the chocolate into each one. Top with half a pecan. Refrigerate for 30 mins to set the chocolate.
Notes
- Store in the fridge to keep them nice and hard and they will last for about 10 days. You can freeze them too.
- You can substitute the pecans for other nuts such as walnuts.
- I use a dairy-free 70% cocoa solids dark chocolate.
- I use very soft dried figs and medjool dates. I don’t pre-soak them. If your dried fruit is harder, try soaking in boiling water for 20-30 minutes. Drain fully before using.
