Ingredients

6 firm ripe fresh figs
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
Vanilla ice cream or 1 cup raspberries, 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cut the stems off figs and place figs in a buttered baking dish. Brush with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Bake 15 minutes, until bubbly and lightly caramelized.
With scissors or a knife, make an X in the top so that each fig opens like a flower.
Serve figs hot with ice cream or raspberries folded into heavy cream whipped with confectioners' sugar.
