No-Bake Fig Tart

Your wish is my command

Last week I shared this tart I made for a family lunch on Instagram and you guys loved it! Thank you for that!

Even though I shared the recipe on that same post, I wanted to make a quick post here so it also lives happily ever after in the blog. So here it goes:

No-Bake Fig Tart

Ingredients

Crust:

Graham cracker crust or Shortbread crust

Filling:

◯ Heavy cream, chilled - 1 cup
◯ Cream cheese, at room temperature - 8 oz.
◯ Raw sugar - 3 TBSP
◯ Powdered sugar - 5 TBSP
◯ Halved figs, and crushed pistachios for topping
◯ Honey to drizzle the figs (optional)

Steps

To make the crust:

Bake you favorite crust, either graham cracker or shortbread and let it cool completely. Chill for several minutes while you prepare the filling.

To make the filling:

Using an electric hand mixer or a standup mixer, both with the whisk attachment attached, whip the cream in medium speed until frothy and soft peak forms, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cream cheese, small pieces at a time. Then add the powdered sugar and the raw sugar. Keep beating for a few minutes more, 3 to 4, just until the cream starts to look firm. Spread over the prepare crust. Decorate with figs and sprinkle some crushed pistachios or any other nuts. Drizzle some honey over the figs, if desire, before serving.
