This rustic fresh fig and almond tart, or Figalette as we like to call it, is the perfect dessert to make when figs are at their peak. This lovely summer tart is made with sweet ripe fig slices, arranged over a rich almond cream, and baked in a flaky, buttery crust. The galette is naturally sweetened with just a hint of maple syrup, and of course the delightful natural sweetness of the figs.
The almond cream is made with a mix of almond paste and vegan cream cheese (I used Violife plain cream cheese). You can buy a store-bought vegan almond paste if you can find it, or whip up your own almond paste using our recipe.
Enjoy!
