Number Of Ingredients 7

8 small (or 4 large) fresh, ripe figs, stems trimmed, halved lengthwise
1/3 cup mascarpone, softened
1/3 cup mild honey
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
4 sprigs fresh mint

Steps:

  • Arrange the figs cut-side up among four plates. Use the back of a teaspoon to gently press into the center of the flesh and create a small indentation.
  • Add a dollop of mascarpone to the center of each fig half and set plates aside.
  • Place honey and spices in a small heat-proof bowl and set over a pan with simmering water. Cook over medium heat, whisking to blend, until the honey is liquefied and warm, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle honey over each fig, garnish plates with mint sprigs, and serve immediately.

I served this dish with a glass of Prosecco, and it was the perfect pairing. The bubbles in the Prosecco cut through the richness of the mascarpone and the sweetness of the figs and honey.
