Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Coconut sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Vegan butter
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 1 cup Raw almonds
• 0.5 cup Oat milk
• 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 8 fresh Figs
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Agave nectar or maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, coconut sugar, and salt. Cut in the vegan butter using a pastry cutter or fork, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the almond filling. In a blender or food processor, combine the almonds, oat milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 5

Roll out the chilled dough between two pieces of parchment paper to fit a tart pan with a removable bottom. Carefully transfer the dough to the tart pan, pressing it into the pan and trimming the edges as needed.

Step 6

Spread the almond filling evenly over the crust. Slice the figs into halves or quarters, depending on their size, and arrange them decoratively on top of the almond filling.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice and agave nectar (or maple syrup), then brush this mixture over the arranged figs for added shine and flavor.

Step 8

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the figs are tender.

Step 9

Allow the tart to cool in the pan on a wire rack before removing the sides of the tart pan. Serve at room temperature, and enjoy your beautiful vegan fig tart!
