I'm dying to know more about that fig pie!!! I don't even like fig but that pie looks and sounds amazing! Did you leave out the instant exspresso AND to coffee liquor? I don't see the fig...is it a noticeable fig taste?

Oh, don't leave me hanging!!! LOL!

I wonder if I could sub dates for the figs? Or will that be too sweet?

I was getting there, Lillian. So much has happened here since I last visited, I wanted to check out first what everyone else posted! LOL.
No, it's not a noticeable fig taste, the chocolate sauce blends in with it and you are just tasting fruit. However, if you don't like figs, I think you might still taste something. I totally left out the coffee, I subbed coffee liqueur with orange liqueur which went great with chocolate. I truly don't know why the coffee was introduced to the recipe in the first place, it seems like an unnecessary layer of flavor to me. I also melted the chocolate together with heavy cream on low heat while making the sauce, otherwise it wasn't going to melt. That worked fine and the sauce came out rich and velvety. The problem is, it makes way too much sauce for that recipe. I guesse I could use it for ice cream topping, or anywhere else I need chocolate sauce. Overall, it was a very interesting pie recipe. All her recipes are unusual and I'll be trying more of them.

LOL! Sorry...I didn't mean to rush you!

I may have to try that for a gathering! Maybe I should leave the coffee in the recipe. That might mask the fig flavor a little more! Thanks for the info on the topping...maybe I'll make less of that.

Lillian, dates sound like a great substitution for that recipe! You don't see figs, because as they cooked, I mashed them a little. You would really need about 1/3 of the sauce for that pie, unless you can think of another use for it.

How is it possible. I'd be putting chocolate sauce on everything for a week. LOL

Yeah, I still have a container of it in the fridge. it's good on ice cream when warmed up. Thinking about freezing the rest of it for now.

Oh, my gosh, Duboo. You are blocked, too? We thought she just blocked women. How odd.

duboo 10 years ago said:

She posted a recipe for a dip and I mentioned that my kids make one just like it all the time but that I preferred it a little more bitter - then BANG, I'm done the next day, so naturally I thought that was it.

frankieanne 10 years ago said:

Nope, I don't think so. I've only left nice comments as Marie. I'm not certain what triggers her blocking. Its certainly odd.

mommyluvs2cook 10 years ago said:

I left a nice comment on one of her recipes and bam...she blocked me. I think it was the same situation for Frankie and Marie. I'm surprised she blocked you Duboo...your a guy and that seem like the only thing she's on this sight for, lol!

mommyluvs2cook 10 years ago said:

You know what's funny, she actually used to comment nicely on my recipes and respond to me. That was long ago though...wonder what happened to her to turn her into an old grouch?

frankieanne 10 years ago said:

I did a search for Fig Pie, ml2c. You can see her little avatar to the right of the recipe.
I don't think it has anything to do with Keni, Duboo.
