Fig almond tart in puffed pastry crust (brushed with almond extract and sugar) with filling of mascarpone, almond paste, honey and lemon zest, topped with homemade fig preserves, sliced figs and finished with apricot glaze. Secret ingredient: sea salt sprinkled over top to bring out the marriage of sweet fig and almond flavors.
It looks like a real mess, especially with the half-melted birthday candles, but it's seriously addictive. Next time I plan to use less mascarpone and fresh figs.
