Easy fig tart recipe with puff pastry.
Servings: 12
Calories: 119kcal
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry cool, thawed
- 1 package 8 oz cream cheese, room temp
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar depending on how sweet you want it
- 1/4 cup apricot jam + 1 tsp water warmed & "melted"
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 4 figs quartered (or 6 - 8 halved if they are small)
- 1 egg beaten
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, stir the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla together until smooth and set aside.
- Unfold the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Using a 3" round cutter, cut circles out of dough.
- Using the tip of a paring knife, lightly pierce the dough several times in the middle. Be careful to avoid the edges and not to tear the dough.
- Brush the edges with the beaten egg, place 1 - 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture in the middle and nestle the figs in, cut side up.
- Brush the figs with the melted apricot jam and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and cool on baking sheet.
Notes
I used a 3" but if you prefer a larger tart, use a 4" cutter. You won't have as many tarts out of your dough.
Don't leave too much space between your circles when cutting out the dough! You want to get the most out of it, so cut RIGHT NEXT TO the edge, leaving as little waste as possible.
