Figs are such an underrated fruit, with a unique taste and sweetness that make them an ideal dessert fruit. We’ve lightly cooked them in a matter of minutes, resulting in a deliciously sticky and lightly spiced pud that feels super indulgent, but is low in calories!
We’ve served alongside yoghurt with a twist: a dollop of maple syrup elevates the flavour without the need for full fat double cream. You can rustle this dish up in only ten minutes, making it perfect for a quick after-dinner pudding or mid-afternoon treat.
You could even try this with our slimming-friendly custard for a warming and hearty alternative to yogurt, just be sure to adjust any nutritional info accordingly.

How Weight Watchers friendly is this Syrupy Cinnamon Figs with Greek Yoghurt recipe?
Weight Watchers’ new PersonalPoints plan calculates each individual’s Points allowance based on their unique food preferences and goals. This means we’re no longer able to offer exact WW points for our recipes.
The good news is that all of our recipes are still Weight Watchers friendly! If you have any questions about your Points budgets or you’re unsure how a certain recipe will fit into your plan, please reach out to Weight Watchers directly.
Do you need any special ingredients to make Syrupy Cinnamon Figs with Greek Yoghurt?
Nope! All of the ingredients, including fresh figs and maple syrup, can be easily found at larger supermarkets.
We’ve made this recipe using a low fat yoghurt instead of fat free as we think it adds a richness to the final dish. If it fits your diet plan better you can use a fat free thick Greek yoghurt which will also reduce the calories a little!
