Mascarpone Fig Brulee

1. 1

   Pulse the fig cookies in a food processor until theyre nice and crumbly.

2. 2

   Whisk together the mascarpone cheese, fig preserves, honey, and vanilla extract.

3. 3

   If the preserves are super sweet, you can omit the honey or, alternatively, omit the jam and just use the honey.

4. 4

   Easy stuff.

5. 5

   Now in a small glass, alternately layer the crushed cookies, sliced figs, and mascarpone mix until the glass is nice and full.

6. 6

   Sprinkle a thin layer of raw sugar over the top and, using a small blow torch (available at any hardware department in the welding section), caramelize the sugar on top by moving the torch in swift, even motions over the top.

7. 7

   If youre a klutz or are afraid of open flames, you can absolutely skip this step, but the caramelized sugar adds a nice crunch to the whole thing.

8. 8

   Garnish, with more fresh sliced figs and some fresh mint.
