  3. Pour 1 teaspoon of maple syrup on top of the figs and bacon.

  8. Add one teaspoon of coconut cream to each dish of figs.
  9. Enjoy!

Notes

To get the coconut cream, I simply place one can of whole fat, organic coconut milk in the fridge overnight. The next morning simply scoop out the white cream that separates from the thin water. Reserve the water for other uses, such as cooking rice or adding to smoothies.
