Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pre-made tart crust
- 8 fresh figs, halved
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp butter, for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a tart pan with butter and lay the pre-made tart crust inside, pressing it gently into the edges.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the figs and honey over medium heat. Cook until the figs are soft and caramelized, about 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the almond filling into the tart crust, spreading evenly. Arrange the caramelized figs on top, cut side up.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the tart is golden brown.
- Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Tip: Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
For the best results, use ripe, fresh figs. If figs aren’t in season, you can substitute dried figs, soaking them briefly in warm water before use.
Feel free to experiment with different nuts in the filling, such as walnuts or pecans, for a unique twist. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
