Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4-6 fresh figs, sliced
  • 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Мethod of preparation

To create the tart shell, combine flour, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until a dough forms. Wrap and chill for 1 hour. Roll out the dough and press into a tart pan. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden. For the filling, in a saucepan over medium heat, combine maple syrup, heavy cream, and butter, simmering until thickened. Remove from heat, add vanilla and sea salt. Arrange fig slices on the baked crust, pour the maple caramel over the figs, and chill until set. Serve this luscious tart with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
