Sarah’s Story:

I discovered this recipe the summer our neighbor gifted us a basket of homegrown figs. I didn’t want to bake them — they were too beautiful as they were. So I built a no-bake tart around them with a creamy yogurt filling and a nutty crust. It turned out so simple, yet so stunning. Now, every fig season, we make this as a sweet little celebration of summer’s end.

🍯 Fresh Fig Tart Recipe

Ingredients:

For the crust:

• 1 ½ cups almond flour

• ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

• ¼ cup melted coconut oil

• 1 ½ tbsp maple syrup

• Pinch of sea salt

For the filling:

• 1 ½ cups thick Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt

• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Topping:

• 6–8 fresh ripe figs, halved or quartered

• Optional: chopped pistachios, edible flowers, drizzle of honey

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Make the crust:
   Mix almond flour, nuts, coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt. Press into a tart pan and chill for 20–30 minutes until firm.

2. Make the filling:
   Stir together yogurt, honey, and vanilla. Spread evenly into the chilled crust.

3. Top with figs:
   Arrange sliced figs on top in a beautiful spiral or free-form pattern.

4. Optional garnishes:
   Add a sprinkle of pistachios or edible flowers, then drizzle with honey for shine.

5. Chill or serve immediately.
   Best enjoyed the same day for the freshest flavor.

💡 Tips:

• Use extra-thick Greek yogurt for best results, or strain regular yogurt with a cheesecloth.

• For added richness, mix cream cheese into the yogurt filling.

• Not fig season? Try thin-sliced plums or poached pears!
