This sumptuous, easy-to-make, sweet dish can be made in advance and refrigerated. Figs have been used as they are low in calories as compared to other dried fruits and are also rich in fibre. To control the calorie count further, I have used low-fat milk and restricted the sugar to minimal.

Nice chilled low fat dessert which is easy to make and store in the fridge. Being a lover of figs and making a dessert out of it was just what i needed.
