HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Unroll the thawed puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Gently roll it into a 10-inch circle and transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

02

In a small bowl, cream together the almond flour, granulated sugar, softened butter, and egg until smooth. Spread this almond filling evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

03

Arrange the sliced fresh figs decoratively over the almond filling. Fold the pastry border inwards over the edge of the filling, creating a rustic crust.

04

Bake the tart in an oven preheated to 400°F/200°C for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.

05

While the tart cools slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar and orange blossom water in a small bowl to create a thin glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm tart before serving.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, sprinkle a few chopped pistachios over the tart before baking. Ensure your puff pastry is fully thawed but still cold for the best texture. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Easy Substitutions

If fresh figs are unavailable, use 1/2 cup of fig jam spread thinly over the almond filling. You can substitute almond extract for orange blossom water if preferred, using 1/4 teaspoon. For a dairy-free option, use a plant-based butter alternative and ensure the puff pastry is dairy-free.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover tart loosely covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in a warm oven for a few minutes if desired.
