Roasted Fig Sundaes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the figs, cut side up, in a baking dish. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, and whisk in the honey, cinnamon and salt. Drizzle the hot honey butter over the figs and roast in oven until very soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Divide the fresh ricotta or fat free yogurt among 4 serving dishes and top with the warm figs and sauce. Enjoy!
• Cook's Note: These hot figs are really great over mixed greens or even on a toasted baguette as a crostini!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Snip the hard stems off the figs and cut the figs in half lengthwise through the stem. With a small sharp knife, cut the prosciutto lengthwise into inch-wide strips. Wrap a strip of prosciutto around the center of each fig half, with the ends overlapping. Brush with olive oil and arrange cut-side up on a sheet pan.
• Roast the figs for 10 minutes, until the prosciutto is a little crisp and the figs are warmed through. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat 2/3 cup dark brown sugar, 1/3 cup molasses, 4 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons water and 1/2 teaspoon each ground ginger, allspice and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring, until smooth, about 3 minutes. Let cool slightly. Serve over chocolate chip ice cream with whipped cream, crushed gingersnaps and toasted sliced almonds.

Steps:

• Toast nuts over low heat in a small pan. Warm the chocolate hazelnut spread in the microwave on high until it has the consistency of hot fudge sauce, 40 seconds to 1 minute. In sundae cups or small bowls, layer ice cream with sliced cookies, toasted nuts, and chocolate hazelnut sauce. Garnish with a twist of whipped cream from a canister.
