This must be one of the simplest desserts to prepare but your guests will never forget it. The creamy mascarpone blends with the sweetness of the figs to make the perfect ending to a barbecue meal.

Preheat a barbecue hotplate or grill rack to medium - high heat. Cut the figs in half lengthwise and brush the cut sides with a little melted butter.
