Preheat your oven to 190Β°C (375Β°F) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
Wash and quarter the figs, then combine them with the raspberries in a mixing bowl.
Add granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract to the fruit and gently toss to coat. Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Add the butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour the milk into the dry mixture and stir until just combined, forming a thick batter.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the fruit mixture, leaving some gaps so the fruit can bubble through as it cooks.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the cobbler topping for a golden, slightly caramelized finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.
Let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
