Fig Tart Recipe: Gourmet Style

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup of butter, softened
• 1/4 cup of sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/4 cup of almond flour
• 1/4 cup of heavy cream
• 10-15 fresh figs
• 2 tbsp of honey
• 1/4 cup of pistachios, chopped

Directions:

1. Start by making the pie crust. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, butter, sugar, and egg yolk until a crumbly dough forms.
2. Add the almond flour and heavy cream to the dough. Mix until the dough is smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Take the pie crust dough out of the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface. Transfer the dough to a tart pan and trim the edges.
4. Arrange the figs on top of the dough, cut-side up. Drizzle honey over the figs and sprinkle with chopped pistachios on top.
5. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
6. Let the fig tart cool for a few minutes before removing it from the tart pan. Serve warm or cold with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on top.

Verdict:

This fig tart is a gourmet dessert that is perfect for any special occasion. The flaky crust pairs perfectly with the sweet and juicy figs, while the honey and pistachios add an extra layer of flavor and crunch. This tart is definitely a crowd-pleaser!

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve a slice of the fig tart on top of whipped cream with a sprinkle of additional chopped pistachios on top.
• Pair the fig tart with a glass of dessert wine or a cup of coffee for an after-dinner treat.
