Fig Mousse



5     dried figs
1/2  cup raw or organic milk
1/2  cup raw or organic heavy cream
1/2  cup coconut milk
1     teaspoon agar agar powder


  • Carefully cut figs in half  and make sure there are no surprises inside the figs. Also cut the hard parts of their tips.

  • Put fig in a small bowl and cover with milk.  Let the fig soak overnight if possible.  Ideally soak for two days.

  • Blend soaked figs with cream in a Vita-Mix or a high speed blender until smooth.

  • In a small sauce pan heat coconut milk with agar agar until it starts to bubble. Keep stirring until agar agar is dissolved or as soon as you see small bubbles. Transfer the mixture to the blender and blend well along with the fig mixture.
