Fig and mascarpone are a match made in heaven. This easy recipe could be an elegant dessert canapé, although they’re also delicious with a cup of strong coffee.

Ingredients

2 drops vanilla extract
2 tbsp mascarpone
2 almond thin biscuits
2 ripe figs, cut into 4 lengthways, without cutting all the way through (or cut 1 fig in half for a more modest serving)
Honey, to drizzle

Method

Stir the vanilla extract into the mascarpone. Spread a generous layer on top of each biscuit and sit a fig on top. Top each with a little drizzle of honey. Tuck into them straightaway or the biscuits will soften.
Best served with the iced mocha latte.
