Dessert for 1. Figs and truffles

It was around the beginning of July when I noticed a box of luscious figs at our local vegetable shop. I had no question whether I should take them, and for a few days, our dessert was a fig. Delivered by a local farmer, they were superb. More than that. Sweet, luscious, juicy, moist, and all that one expects from a fig. A pure seasonal gold.

The next time I went to buy them, they were sold out with no date of return, yet my appetite for figs was so immense that one day, I walked from shop to shop and market to market, looking for them. Organic and local figs. With no luck. Until the next day, when at the Wednesday market, there was a box of les figues blanches. I went home lucky, as I was settled for my dessert in the upcoming days. Served with date and tahini truffles, that dessert became my staple over this course of living alone, and I could not wait to finish my meal faster to enjoy that combination of sweetness both of my desserts provided.
