Caramelize the sugar in a wide pan, remove the pan from the heat, deglaze with rum, and add the espresso. Simmer until the sugar has dissolved. Add the pineapple slices and figs and let it simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes. Serve on plates, pour the espresso juice over it, and sprinkle with the walnuts. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
