Ingredients

12 whole Fresh Figs
2 Tablespoons Honey, Light In Color
4 ounces, weight Mascarpone Cheese Softened
1 cup Heavy Cream Or Whipping Cream
3 Tablespoons Caster Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Pistachio Nuts, For Garnish (optional)

Directions

1

Place your figs in a small baking dish, tight enough that the figs can stand upright. Cut an X at the top of the figs so that they open slightly. Drizzle the honey in and around the figs. Bake in a 350°F oven for 20-30 minutes and let them sit under the broiler for the last minute or two.
2

For the cream, place the remaining ingredients in the bowl of your electric mixer. Using the whisk attachment, beat on high speed till light and fluffy. (I occasionally add about 1/8 teaspoon of a spice, such as cardamom!)
3

Serve the warm figs with a couple of spoonfuls of the honey juice and a dollop of sweet cream and garnish with pistachios!
