4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ cup ruby port
  • 12 fresh black Mission figs (or 8 ounces of another fruit), halved
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1½ tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons amaretto or other almond-flavored liqueur
  • ¾ cup roughly chopped amaretti cookies
Directions
  1. In a medium skillet, combine the honey and port and bring to a simmer. Cook over low heat, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the figs and cook, stirring gently, until the figs are tender, about 2 minutes. (Do not overcook the figs or they will fall apart.) Remove the figs from the heat and let them cool slightly while you make the whipped cream.
  2. Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the heavy cream and sugar at medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the liqueur and cookies until combined.
  3. Arrange the figs on a large serving platter and serve with the amaretti whipped cream on the side.
