2. Open the cardamom capsules and finely crush the seeds in a mortar.
3. Beat the eggs in a bowl with the sugar, grated orange peel and cardamom until fluffy. Blend the cream cheese with the orange juice and spoon it into the egg mixture.
4. Preheat the oven.
5. Finely grind the pistachios in a mixer and set aside 1 tablespoon for decoration. Mix the remaining pistachios once more with the sponge fingers and stir into the egg mixture. Divide the mixture into 6 ovenproof moulds. Wash and
dry the figs and cut into them crosswise at the top. Place them in the middle of the moulds and sprinkle with the remaining pistachios. Bake as indicated.
6. Sprinkle the finished dessert with syrup, dust with icing sugar as desired and serve immediately.
