Prepare the Figs: Begin by selecting your dried black mission figs, pinching off the hard base to ready them for wrapping. Take thin slices of beet and carefully wrap each fig snugly, ensuring the beet covers the entire fig to maintain moisture while cooking.

Wrap with Rice Paper: Moisten the rice paper wrappers until they become pliable, then carefully wrap each beet-and-fig bundle, ensuring that it is tightly secured.

Secure the Wraps: Using small skewers, secure each wrapped fig in place.

Drizzle with Maple Syrup: Place the secured Vampire Hearts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle them lightly with maple syrup.

Air Fry the Hearts: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the Vampire Hearts in the fryer basket and air fry for about 4 to 6 minutes.

Prepare the Toast: While the Vampire Hearts are air frying, toast your gluten-free bread until it reaches a delightful crispiness.

Assemble the Toasts: Once the Vampire Hearts are done, allow them to cool for a minute. Spread a generous layer of plant-based cream cheese onto each piece of toast.

Drizzle with Beet Syrup: For a final touch, drizzle the assembled Vampire Hearts on toast with beet syrup.

Serve Creatively: Arrange your Vampire Hearts on a festive platter.
