Spiced Baked Figs With Vanilla Mascarpone

1. 1

   Pre-heat oven to 190 C / 375 F. Choose a baking dish that will fit all your figs snugly without too much space between them. Mix the honey and cinnamon together in a small bowl and set aside.

2. 2

   Toast the almond slivers in a dry pan for a few minutes and set aside. Mix together mascarpone, icing sugar and vanilla in a bowl until well incorporated, and leave in the fridge until the figs are done.

3. 3

   Score the top of your fig making a small crossways incision about half-way down into it (keeping it whole and making sure not to go all the way to the bottom).

4. 4

   Place the prepared figs on your baking dish and carefully pour the cinnamon-honey mixture into the incision that you made. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes until cooked through, but the figs still hold their shape.

5. 5

   To serve, place 2 - 3 figs in a bowl and pour over some of the honey-cinnamon syrup on top. Serve with a generous dollop of mascarpone and toasted almond slivers.
