Method

1. 1

   Soak the dried figs in warm water for 15 minutes to soften them.

2. 2

   Remove the stems and chop the softened figs into small cubes.

3. 3

   Heat the milk on the stove until it reaches a lukewarm temperature (about 40-45°C), comfortable to the touch.

4. 4

   Blend the chopped figs and optional sugar with the lukewarm milk in a deep bowl until smooth.

5. 5

   Pour the mixture into serving bowls and cover them with a tray or wrap.

6. 6

   Let them rest at room temperature for about 2 hours to set and thicken naturally.

7. 7

   Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, garnish with walnuts, and serve.

Note. The temperature of the milk is critical; it should be just warm enough so it doesn't burn your finger, allowing the natural enzymes to work.
