Drunken Stuffed Figs image

This has been a hit at many dinner parties. Figs are stuffed with a creamy, rich mascarpone cheese and cognac mixture, then rolled in toasted hazelnuts. Garnish with whole hazelnuts and mint leaves when serving. If an injector is unavailable, marinate the figs in 1/2 cup cognac for approximately 30 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of figs, but I loved these drunken stuffed figs. The cheese and walnuts really balanced out the sweetness of the figs.

I love how versatile this recipe is. You can use any type of cheese or nuts that you like. I've even tried stuffing them with dried fruit or chocolate chips.
