I was not part of the #cheeseslut tweeting as at that stage, twitter was something I knew nothing about. However, I read about this on Marisa’s blog and so decided to make a few cheese based dishes. This dessert is easy to whip up – the hardest part is cutting the figs! I love the combination of Figs With Camembert. We grew up with a fig tree and I can clearly remember having to get to the figs quicker than the birds did. We would pluck the ripe fruit off the tree and eat as many as we could in an afternoon. I also grew up eating fancy cheese. Camembert is one of my favourites, only after brie. I love the silky soft texture of the Camembert and it is one of those cheese that melts well.

Ingredients for my Figs With Camembert
- Figs – I prefer black figs which are commonly known as Turkish Figs. These are sweeter with a softer skin. The green figs are better to use in jam making and go well when served as part of a cheese platter. No matter which ones you buy, be sure to check that they are firm.
- Camembert – in my opinion you need to spend money when buying cheese. The more it costs, the better it tastes. We have a few locally made Camembert cheeses and I choose these over imported ones.
- Pomegranate Molasses – this is really easy to make so if you cannot find any molasses or concentrate where you live then follow this recipe to create your own.
It’s actually also perfect as a lunch dish on its own.
Lovely!
