Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups fresh figs, sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 package of pre-made tart crust (or homemade pastry dough)
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Honey, for drizzling
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preparing the Figs and Caramel: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add butter and sugar, stirring until melted and caramel forms. Add sliced figs and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender and coated in caramel. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Preparing the Crust: Roll out tart crust into a tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool completely.
- Mixing the Mascarpone Filling: In a bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth. Spread evenly over cooled tart crust.
- Assembling the Tart: Arrange caramelized figs on top of the mascarpone filling. Drizzle with honey, garnish with mint leaves, and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
