From all the fig recipes I've been doing lately I'll have to say this is probably my favourite! Plain white chocolate mousse can be overly sweet, but now add the freshness of figs and the nutiness of peanut butter and you've got yourself something truly special!
FIG, WHITE CHOCOLATE & PEANUT BUTTER ICED MOUSSE (For 4)
- 120 gr (4.3 oz) white chocolate
- 50 gr (3.5 oz) cream
- 50 gr (3.5 oz) chilled cream
- 10 figs
- 2 tsp peanut butter (I've used crunchy)
Melt the chocolate with the 1st part of the cream and peanut butter. Mix well until you have a well blended cream without unmelted pieces of chocolate. Leave to cool. Whip the 2nd part of the cream, the one that's chilled. Carefully mix the whipped cream into the cold white chocolate ganache. Peel the figs and mashed them with a fork. Add the fig puree to the mousse and mix gently. Put into 4 cups or glasses and take to the freezer. It's better to eat after 2 hours in the freezer, but if you left it longer and it's too hard, leave it out for 10-15 m before eating.
For the fig lovers out there this will be the dessert for you, for the fig non-lovers or non-finders do it with other fruits, I'm thinking peaches, raspberries, blueberries, bananas... Anything really!
You know you want it!
This has been really a lot of fun! I think it's nice to have a bunch of recipes with the same ingredient all collected in one place. I might do it again in the future using other fruits or ingredients. Ideas anyone?
This week the Fig Gods must have been with me, because I found so many "figtastic" recipes, both using fresh and dried figs. Thanks everyone who sent me links! I'll be sharing all of them with you tomorrow, so come back for a serious overfigose!!!

That DOES look good, especially that last picture with the big spoonful! I've seriously gotta just find me a fig to try as I've never tasted them.
Oh, and I've got a 10 year old I'll let you have, not sure I can give up Sam! ;)
This sounds like a great combo of flavours!
All Hail the Fig Queen! All hail the fig queen!
Wow that combo definetly took me by surprise but it looks delicious!
Oh my, that recipe is the PERFECT way to end fig week - yum!
Oh, that's a great finale to a fabulous week. I've never made an iced mousse before. I have everything I need to make yours....except figs! I'll have to go to the farmer's market tomorrow.
Now that's a creative combo! I love it.
so elegant! this is making my mouth water. what a great late summer dessert.
I love it, all of my favorite flavors in one. You did an awesome job this week and I'm still so jealous of your fresh, free figs!! I am even more determined to find some if I have to drive all over NY or go to another state to get them!
Oh no you didn't! This looks like heaven and I am trying to eat good for the next couple weeks! You are making it difficult girl!
Ohhh it must be delicious. It looks so incredibly tasty :-)
That sounds and looks incredible!
I love how vibrant the slice of fig is! I could definitely enjoy this duo of flavors.
Fiiiiiiiiiigs :) Looks good!
Beautiful recipes, Rita! All of them were amazing. You should do more weeks like this.
WOW! very impressive. I love mousse but i feel is a pain to make-and this delight you have created is definitely inspiring!
I gotta make some mousse! yum!!! :)
That looks so pretty! I love it.
This looks fantastic. I am OBSESSED with figs--bought a package of like 30 recently, and ended up eating almost all of them myself. I'd feel guilty but they were soooo good.
I love figs always!!! I may buy 1 kg. and eat all!! and this recipe is really soooo beauty an tasty, Clumbsy solamente tengo que esperar que salgan los higos que creo que serà pronto, que rico!!!!Me encantò esta receta! xxxGloria
Clumbsy, me faltaban dos recetas que no habìa visto, espectaculares, la tarta (deliciosa) y la mermelada te quedò fantàstica cuando hago mermeladas la comen como postre, quiero que lleguen los higos!!!!!!
Todo es yummmy!!!!! Gloria
You were right, you saved the best for last. I was thinking ice cream, and iced mousse even looks better. I haven't had white chocolate in forever... cookie you sure know how to change a man :)
Thanks everyone! I'm glad you like the mousse! After tomorrow we'll all be fig-free!
Nice to see the figgy recipes,they are so good.I was clueless about the fruit at times.love to try ur Jam and sandwiched choclate.
figs + pb????? I would never have thought to put the two together. You're a genius. I've enjoyed your fig week :)
Do these recipes get better every day?Or is it just a FIGment of my imagination?
I keep seeing you everywhere Clumsy! I finally had to come and take a bite today. What a great blog! This mouse looks incredible, as do all of your fig creations I took a quick peek at. I've got to get back to that page and drool some more! Cheers!
CC - I really love the innovation here. It's always such a challenge to race to figure out a recipe or idea in a short food season - really well done and beautiful photos.
Yeah, I think this was my favorite, the presentation is beautiful.
Mmm, figs and white chocolate sounds great! I'm way jealous of your figs.
Brilliant combination! And it actually sounds very do-able :) So what's next?
I love it...without the fig that is ;) Should be great with other fruit...yum!
I love mousse! what a cool way to combine all the flavours!
wow, that is so beautiful!
yes...everyoe does seem to be Figged OUT!!! But this does look yummy!!!
This is so impressive! I love anything White Chocolate!
El mejor remate para la semana d los higos.... Tiene una pinta deliciosa!!!
Ana
Oh my...I would LOVE to get my hands on this. What a great week of recipes!! I wish my fig tree grew some figs this year...: (
Pero ¿cómo puedes ser tan creativa? No salgo de mi asombro, de verdad. Seguro que si en vez de "la semana del higo" te dejan un mes, eres capaz de sacar una receta nueva cada día.
¡¡¡ Eres genialo !!!
Yes, I want it! I think this one is my favourite, you definitely saved the best for last! YUMMMM!
Oh my! This looks great! I would've never thought of this combo, but it sounds so tasty!
Mmmm... eu que nem morro de amores por chocolate fiquei com água na boca só de pensar nesta mousse.
