Instructions: Turn on the broiler. On a nonstick baking sheet, arrange 4 figs in a flower cluster at 12, 3, 6, and 9 oclock with a small space in the center. Do the same with the remaining figs to form four clusters. Sprinkle with sugar. Place under the broiler and cook until the sugar is caramelized, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Remove from the broiler. Carefully transfer the fig clusters to the center of each serving plate. To serve: Place oval scoops of the raspberry sorbet and vanilla ice cream in the center of the fig cluster. Dust with the powdered sugar. Sprinkle the figs and plate with raspberries and pistachios. Garnish each with a sprig of mint.
