This is part of our Carluccio's Christmas Range Collection.
Sweet, succulent Calabrian figs are generously filled with a smooth cocoa and coffee cream, then coated in either rich dark chocolate or creamy white chocolate. We couldn’t decide which worked better, so naturally, we chose both.
Made using the prized local Dottato fig variety from the hills around Cosenza, the figs have beautifully tender flesh, very few seeds and an intense, naturally honeyed sweetness. That soft fruitiness is a wonderful contrast to the rich coffee centre and crisp chocolate coating.
Dark chocolate brings a deeper, more bittersweet finish, while white chocolate makes the coffee filling softer and creamier — meaning there is really only one sensible approach: try one of each.
Perfect with an espresso after dinner, although given there is already coffee inside, you could argue they come prepared.
