Best 2 Chocolate And Fig Tart Recipes
CHOCOLATE FIG TARTE
Steps:
- Melt chocolate in a double boiler and whisk in hot cream to make a ganache. Pour ganache into 2 (4 to 6-inch) tart pans that have a pop out bottom, and chill to set.
- In a bowl combine mascarpone cheese, Grand Marnier and sugar. Fill a pastry bag with the mixture.
- Pop out chocolate circles and pipe the cheese mixture on top.
- Slice figs in half and layer around the top. Melt jam in a small saucepan. Brush figs with jam and garnish with violet leaves, rose petals and gold leaf.
FIG AND CHOCOLATE OLIVE OIL CAKE
This is a delectable combination of flavors, perfect for when figs are in season. The chocolate sponge is light but flavorful, thanks to the yogurt and olive oil. The cinnamon adds a hint of warmth, but is optional. For a special touch, serve with thick Greek yogurt that you've whipped with a touch of honey, dust with extra cinnamon and serve with a fresh fig half on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease a 7-inch square baking dish and line with parchment paper.
- Mix together 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar, eggs, yogurt, olive oil, and vanilla extract in a bowl until well combined. Sift 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and baking powder on top of the batter and fold in gently.
- Place figs, cut side-down, onto the bottom of the baking dish. Spoon batter on top of the figs and level top with the back of a spoon.
- Bake in the preheated oven until firm to the touch, about 50 minutes. If cake starts to brown too much, cover with foil after 30 minutes of baking time.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool in the baking dish for 15 minutes. Turn out onto a serving platter and peel off the parchment paper.
