Spanish · Dessert
Baked Figs with Almonds
Fresh figs are halved and baked in their own dishes under a honey, orange and cinnamon glaze until jammy and soft, then finished with toasted almonds and a spoon of mascarpone. A simple, pantry-light Spanish dessert that leans entirely on ripe fruit and a short blast of oven heat to concentrate its flavour.

Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
2
Halve the 180g fresh figs and arrange them cut-side up snugly across 2 individual baking dishes (ramekins), 90g figs per dish.
3
Melt the 8g butter and stir together with the 24g honey, the zest and juice from the 12g orange, and the 1g ground cinnamon.
4
Spoon the honey-butter mixture evenly over the cut faces of the figs, letting it pool slightly in the dishes.
5
Scatter the 18g chopped almonds over the figs, pressing lightly so they nestle into the honey glaze.
6
Bake for 15-18 minutes until the figs are soft and slumping and the almonds are toasted golden at the edges.
7
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes so the glaze thickens slightly.
8
Top each dish with 15g mascarpone just before serving, letting it melt slightly over the warm figs.
