Instructions
1
In a mixing bowl, use a whisk to thoroughly combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla and lemon zest until the mixture becomes completely smooth and creamy.
2
Wash the figs, pat them dry and cut them in half.
3
Heat coconut oil or butter in a pan over medium heat. Place the fig halves cut-side down in the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes, until they soften slightly.
4
Drizzle the figs with honey and balsamic vinegar. Cook for another minute, until the honey starts to bubble and creates a sticky caramel. Remove the pan from the heat.
5
Divide the cottage cheese cream between two bowls. Arrange the warm caramelized figs on top and drizzle with the remaining sauce from the pan.
6
Sprinkle everything with chopped walnuts for crunch and serve immediately.
