I like to tell myself that any recipe of Amelia Freer’s is good for me, even if it is a little bit naughty. I convinced myself so much of this, that when I made these for a family meal last week, I finished off the kid’s leftovers after clearing my own bowl!! Mmm they were sooo delicious – like a not-so-naughty panacotta. They’re really easy to make but they don’t look it, so they’re also a great show stopper if you’re entertaining. What’s more, figs are a rich source of anti-oxidants as well as vitamins, minerals, fibre and carbohydrates, making them great for digestive health and bowel regularity.
