2. Butter a Le Creuset Stoneware 19cm Heritage Rectangular Dish.
3. Wash the fruit and chop any larger fruits into bite-sized pieces.
4. Arrange the fruit in an even layer in the dish.
5. Combine the mascarpone with the egg yolks, icing sugar and vanilla seeds, scraped from the pod.
6. Spoon the mascarpone mixture over the top of the fruit and place under the grill (position the top of the dish no closer than 5cm from the heating element).
