Tarta de Higos

Tarta de Higos is a delightful vegan Spanish dessert that combines the sweetness of figs with a rich almond crust, creating a perfect balance of flavors. This elegant tart is not only delicious but also showcases the beauty of seasonal fruits.

Ingredients

• Fresh figs - 200 grams
• Almond flour - 150 grams
• Oats - 50 grams
• Maple syrup - 3 tablespoons
• Coconut oil - 3 tablespoons, melted
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Plant-based milk - 100 ml
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, oats, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Press the dough into a small tart pan evenly to create the crust. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden.
5. While the crust is baking, prepare the fig filling. Slice the fresh figs in half and set aside.
6. In a small bowl, mix the plant-based milk with lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes to curdle slightly.
7. Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Pour the plant-based milk mixture over the crust.
8. Arrange the sliced figs on top of the milk mixture, cut side up.
9. Drizzle a little more maple syrup over the figs for added sweetness if desired.
10. Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the figs are soft and the filling is set.
11. Remove from the oven and let it cool before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
