Healthy, because
The sweet figs are not only particularly tasty, but are also at the top of the list when it comes to health: the iron in the fruit contributes significantly to blood formation. They also contain potassium, which acts as an electrolyte in the body and is therefore involved in metabolic processes and has a blood pressure-lowering effect.
Even smarter
To counteract the fine sweetness of fig and honey with a little freshness, freshly squeezed lime juice makes a good addition to the mascarpone cream. Simply squeeze the juice of half a lime and fold into the cream.
