Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 whole Fresh figs
- 120 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 30 grams Pistachios
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the fresh figs thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice each fig in half lengthwise and set them aside.
In a small bowl, stir the mascarpone cheese with a spoon to soften it slightly for easier spreading.
Chop the pistachios into small pieces and set them aside.
Using a small spoon, dollop approximately 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of mascarpone cheese onto the cut side of each fig half.
Drizzle a small amount of honey over the mascarpone and fig halves, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the top for added texture and flavor.
Lightly sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the figs to enhance the sweetness and balance the flavors.
Optionally, garnish the figs with a small mint leaf for a pop of color and a hint of freshness.
Serve immediately as a dessert or elegant tapas dish.
