1. Preheat oven to 200C. Grease a baking dish. Arrange halved figs in the dish. Drizzle with honey and rosewater then bake for 20 minutes or until they begin to colour and caramelise.
2. Serve the figs sprinkled with pistachios, crumbled halva and softly whipped cream. 

Chef's tip

Buy your figs only 2-3 days before using. They are very perishable - look for plump, soft figs with firm stems that smell mildly sweet. If not using straight away, keep in the fridge.
