Wheat Berry Fools with Grand Marnier Figs
Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 45 mins
Difficulty: Easy
Servings: 4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup finely chopped dried figs, preferably Turkish or Greek
  • 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other good-quality orange flavored liqueur
  • 1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest (about 2 oranges)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup cooked soft whole wheat berries
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled

Instructions

  1. Combine the figs and the liqueur in a small bowl and set aside to plump for 15 minutes, stirring once or twice, while you prep the ingredients.
  2. Meanwhile, beat the yogurt with 2 tablespoons of the honey, 1 tablespoon of the orange zest, and the cinnamon in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in the wheat berries. Using a hand mixer at medium speed, whip the cream in a medium bowl until foamy. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons honey and continue whipping until soft peaks form.
  3. Drain the figs, reserving their juices. Combine 2 tablespoons of the figs with the remaining 1 teaspoon zest in a small bowl and set aside for garnish. Stir the remaining figs into the bowl with the yogurt mixture. Scrape one-third of the whipped cream on top and fold in using a spatula. Fold in the remaining whipped cream in 2 additions until just incorporated. Divide among serving bowls, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for 2 hours. To serve, top each bowl with a bit of the reserved figs and their juices.a
