Fig, Orange and Almond Log

    I love keeping this log in the fridge and bringing it out for a snack when friends are over, or taking it to a picnic. It's always a hit and it's so easy to make. No baking, no fuss, only 4 ingredients. It's also great for a mid afternoon snack if you're after a little indulgence that isn't actually too indulgent!  Basically, it's a version of bliss balls served more elegantly!
    
Ingredients
  • 300g dried figs
  • 100g (1 cup) whole almonds or almond meal
  • 50 g dark chocolate (dairy free, 70% cocoa, preferably fair trade)
  • 1 Tablespoon liquid (orange juice, water, or orange liqueur like Cointreau or Grand Marnier)
  • Finely grated rind of one orange

Method
  • If using whole almonds, place in food processor and process until finely chopped (if using almond meal, simply place in food processor).
  • Slowly add dried figs to processor, while it's running- just a couple of figs at a time to make sure the processor doesn't seize up!  If your processor isn't very powerful, you may have to chop the figs in half before gradually adding them.
  • Add the chocolate and blend lightly so there are still some little chunks.
  • Add liquid of choice and blend until the mixture comes together.
  • Roll the mixture into a sausage shape and roll up in cling wrap. Make sure you've made the sausage very, very firm, or it will have gaps in it when you slice it.
  •  Refrigerate for a couple of hours until it is solid, then slice into thin rounds and serve.
