Ripe figs are delicious right off the tree, but in this recipe, I’m applying a touch of heat just to make them that much more tender.
Freeze-dried raspberries (sold as Just Raspberries) are available at many grocery stores.

Divide the figs among dessert plates and sprinkle lightly with fleur de sel. If you want, garnish with some freeze-dried raspberries and cilantro. Serve with a small bowl (or Chinese soupspoon) of granité. If you want a sauce, melt a little of the granité to drizzle onto the plate.
