Ingredients

• 8 Fresh figs
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Lavender-infused honey
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 sprigs Fresh mint leaves

Directions

Step 1

Wash the figs and gently pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Slice each fig in half lengthwise.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and begins to foam, add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved, creating a caramel-like sauce.

Step 3

Place the fig halves cut-side down into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the cut sides begin to caramelize and turn golden brown. Flip the figs and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the skin side. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

Step 4

While the figs cool slightly, prepare the whipped cream. In a chilled mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a handheld whisk or electric mixer, beat the cream until soft peaks form.

Step 5

To plate, place the caramelized figs on a serving platter or individual plates. Drizzle each fig half with lavender honey.

Step 6

Add a dollop of whipped cream to each plate, next to the figs, and garnish with a few fresh mint leaves for color and brightness.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful dessert while the figs are warm and the whipped cream is cool.
