A simple fig tart recipe using fresh figs, puff pastry and tasty ricotta & fig filling. With a quick prep and baking time, you can enjoy this fig dessert in less than 25 minutes.
Prepare the filling by mixing ricotta, honey and flesh from about 4-5 figs until well combine (a small bowl like a soup bowl is perfect). Set aside.
Unfold the pastry and roll it out thin. Cut in half. Place both halves onto a baking tray lined with baking parchment. With a knife or pizza cutter, make an indentation alongside the edges (about an inch/2-centimeters from edges, check the photos).
Divide the ricotta mixture between the two tarts and spread it over, keeping the mixture in the inner “frame” you made with the knife.
Cut 2 figs into wedges (8 pieces per fig) and place them randomly on the tart before you put the tray in the oven (this step is optional - you can just top cooked tarts with fresh figs, if you prefer).
Bake at 400° Fahrenheit (200° Celsius) for 12 minutes or until the edges are puffed and the bottom of the tart is nice golden brown.
Meanwhile: Cut each fig into 8 pieces and roughly chop almonds.
When the tarts are ready, take them out. Top them with fresh figs and sprinkle with almonds and coconut. For extra sweetness you can drizzle with honey as well.
Best served warm.
Notes
Fresh or frozen (thawed) pastry can be used.
Honey can be substituted with other sweeteners.
You might need more or less figs. This will depend on their size and your preference.
Almonds can be omitted or substituted with other nuts.
Cooking time may vary, depending on your oven and pastry – its thickness, quality and brand as well, so add more time, if needed. The bottom and edges should be golden brown.
I like to divide the pastry into 4 rectangles and make 2 individual fig tarts. That way, more people can enjoy the flaky edge.
