Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups fresh figs, sliced
  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pre-made tart crust (graham cracker or cookie crust)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the caramelized figs by melting butter in a skillet over medium heat, adding brown sugar, and cooking sliced figs for 5-7 minutes until caramelized. Cool slightly.
  2. Mix mascarpone cheese, honey, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold gently into the mascarpone mixture to create a fluffy filling.
