Drunken Stuffed Figs image

This has been a hit at many dinner parties. Figs are stuffed with a creamy, rich mascarpone cheese and cognac mixture, then rolled in toasted hazelnuts. Garnish with whole hazelnuts and mint leaves when serving. If an injector is unavailable, marinate the figs in 1/2 cup cognac for approximately 30 minutes.

Number Of Ingredients 6

24 fresh figs
1 cup cognac
1 cup mascarpone cheese
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 ½ cups toasted hazelnuts
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Using a marinade injector baster, inject figs with about 1 tablespoon cognac, dividing the amount equally amongst the figs. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing remaining ingredients.

  • In a blender or food processor, mix toasted hazelnuts, mint leaves and remaining confectioner' sugar. Place the mixture in a medium bowl.
