Instructions

Finely chop the soaked figs. Soaking helps soften the figs and makes them easier to incorporate into the mixture.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, roast the white sesame seeds until fragrant and lightly golden. This enhances their nutty flavor.
Add the chopped figs to the skillet. Stir continuously for a few minutes to warm them through.
Add the roasted sesame seeds and honey to the figs. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. This will prevent the butter from melting too quickly in the next step.
Lightly grease your hands with softened butter. Shape the fig mixture into small bite-sized balls or logs.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

For added texture and nutrition, consider mixing in finely chopped nuts such as almonds or pistachios before pressing the mixture into the pan.
If you prefer a firmer bar, refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours before cutting; for a chewier texture, allow it to set at room temperature.
To enhance flavor and aroma, lightly toast the sesame seeds before mixing them in.
For a vegan version, substitute honey with date syrup or jaggery syrup.

Expert Tips

For a beautiful presentation, line your baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. This will make it easy to lift the set bars out of the pan and cut them neatly.
If your mixture is too sticky to handle, lightly grease your hands with oil or cooking spray before pressing it into the pan.
These bars are delicious on their own, but you can also elevate them by drizzling melted chocolate or a simple glaze over the top after they’ve set.
