How to make tarts with fresh figs: the express dessert that doesn't need an oven
Now that figs are in season and at their peak—juicy, sweet, and with a mellow yet crunchy texture that everyone loves—we have a quick and easy dessert for you: sweet fig tarts. No oven required, and you're sure to love them.
Since these are a quick dessert, these little tarts are very easy to prepare; you won't need shortcrust pastry or special molds. They only take 20 minutes, and because they look so pretty, you can use them to impress your friends at a gathering or simply to treat yourself on the weekend. This recipe makes 4 servings, but you can double it or make a smaller version if you need a larger batch.
Variations of fig tarts
If you want your homemade cakes to be much lighter, use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese.
To give the base of the tarts a better texture, add some granola or chopped nuts.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an elegant and aromatic touch.
