Starting at the top of each fig and without cutting all the way through, slice each into quarters to open out the fruit.

Meanwhile, mix together the mascar-pone cheese and ground almonds, and leave to chill in the fridge until required.
Remove the figs from the Marsala wine and stand each fig in a serving dish.
