    Figs and raspberry tart

    Taking advantage of the fig season

  • Related Posts:

    • When I lived in Chile I wasn’t such a fan of figs, but I never saw as much variety as I have seen here. In France, you could see every variety you can imagine. Here in England most of them are from Turkey, but also you can find many fig trees around town, the great thing is you can use the figs leaves to cook with them.

    Now that I am definitely in love with figs I can’t turn back. I had a lot of leftovers so I did fig jam and I have it for breakfast almost every day and it is one of my favorites now.

    The dough is a traditional sweet pastry, I baked it and added some frangipane with fresh figs, then a layer of raspberry pastry cream and on top a layer of jam. To finish it, decorate it with some fresh fruits and I also did a little individual one that I thought it looked super cute.
