Sauteed Fresh Fig and Almond Dessert image

Mmmm! I made this over the weekend as a project---I made some energy bars for my fiance and had figs left over. This is wonderful, VERY fast and VERY easy!

Time 9m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons butter
12 ripe fresh figs, halved lengthwise
1/4 cup brown sugar (you might want to add more...I did!)
1 cup blanched slivered almond, toasted
heavy cream (to garnish, optional, but the best part)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over high heat.
  • Add the fig halves and sprinkle liberally with brown sugar.
  • Saute, turning the figs gently, until warmed through, about 4 minutes. Be careful not to let the butter/brown sugar burn, just caramelize.
  • Sprinkle with toasted almonds and garnish with heavy cream.
