Directions
Prepare the Fig Compote
In a saucepan, combine dried figs, water, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low and cook until figs are tender, about 15 minutes. Let cool and then blend until smooth.
Prepare the Whipped Mascarpone
In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and Grand Marnier. Whip until soft peaks form.
Assemble the Dish
Spread a layer of fig compote over the phyllo, followed by a layer of whipped mascarpone. Add another layer of phyllo brushed with butter. Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with phyllo on top.
Bake the Layers
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and crispy.
Serve
Let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm, garnished with fresh figs.
