There're times when we all need a quick, easy to make and delicious Dessert which looks gorgeous and tastes divine. Well, here's one with Fresh Figs and it wont take you more than a minute to assemble it! (preparation takes no more than 5 minutes too!). I made this dessert since I had some Mascarpone mix left over from my
Strawberry Triple Trifle - but trust me, these turned out the delight of the evening!

| Easy, Delicious, Fun. |
Recipe:
- Wash and clean figs dry. Cut of the top and slice them cross-ways till 3/4th height. Keep these in fridge for 10-15 minutes or till ready to serve. This way they hold shape, size and texture well.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together Mascarpone (bought to room
temperature), Lemon Juice, Honey, Lemon Zest and Sea Salt (1/2 a pinch)
till you get a smooth, luscious, creamy consistency - This is the heart
of your recipe, so taste it till you end up feeling like licking the
bowl clean!
- When ready to serve, take figs and fill them up with the Mascarpone mixture (preferably with a star-noozle piping bag).
- To serve, assemble a fig on serving plate. Top them off with toasted Pistachios, Saffron and Cinnamon powder. Drizzle the best honey you have and top off with a leaf of mint!
- Pair these with my upcoming Mint & Saffron Tea and be prepared to handle the compliments!
Tip: You can roast figs in a oven for 10-15 minutes and then top them off with the cheese - it's fantastic!
