Fig Tarte Tatin Recipe

Ingredients:

1 sheet of puff pastry
8-10 ripe figs
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated white sugar

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and quarter the figs, and set aside.
Melt the butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sugar and cook until the sugar has dissolved, stirring occasionally.
Add the quartered figs to the skillet and let cook for 4-5 minutes until they start to get brown. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet to a size that will fit over the skillet. Place it over the figs, and tuck in the edges around the figs. Pierce a few times with a fork.
Bake the skillet for 20-25 minutes until the puff pastry is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Using oven mitts to handle the skillet, place a serving plate upside down on top of the skillet, and quickly but carefully invert the skillet and plate together. The fig tarte tatin should release easily onto the plate.
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional).

Verdict:

This fig tarte tatin recipe is an elegant dessert that combines the sweetness of figs with the crunchiness of puff pastry. It’s perfect for a dinner party or a special occasion.
