Ingredients:


  • For the Crust:
    • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
    • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
    • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For the Almond Filling:
    • 1 cup almond flour
    • 1/4 cup almond butter
    • 1/4 cup maple syrup
    • 1/4 cup almond milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Topping:
    • 8-10 fresh figs, sliced
    • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (for drizzling)
    • Slivered almonds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt. Mix until the dough comes together.
  • Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a tart pan with a removable base (9-inch/23cm).
  • Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it’s lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.

2. Make the Almond Filling:

  • In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, almond butter, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour the almond filling into the pre-baked tart crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

3. Add the Figs:

  • Arrange the sliced fresh figs on top of the almond filling in a decorative pattern.
  • Drizzle with maple syrup for added sweetness and shine.

4. Bake the Tart:

  • Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the figs are slightly caramelized.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the tart to cool completely before removing it from the pan.

5. Garnish and Serve:

  • Optional: Sprinkle slivered almonds on top for added crunch and garnish.
  • Slice and serve your Vegan Fig and Almond Tart, enjoying the combination of creamy almond filling and juicy figs.

Flavor-Enhancing Tips:

Use Seasonal Figs:
For the best flavor, use fresh figs that are in season. Their sweetness and texture will enhance the overall taste of the tart.

Make It Gluten-Free:
If you need a gluten-free crust, you can use a gluten-free flour blend instead of almond flour for the crust.

Add a Citrus Twist:
For a zesty twist, add a little orange zest to the almond filling. It pairs wonderfully with the sweetness of the figs and adds a refreshing flavor to the tart.
