Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed store-bought
  • 6 to 8 fresh figs, sliced dried figs work in a pinch if rehydrated
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or seeds of 1 vanilla bean
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar plus extra for dusting
  • 1 egg, beaten for egg wash
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry and cut into 6 rectangles or squares.
  • Score a ½ inch border around each tart and brush the edges with beaten egg.
  • Place the pastry on a baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden and puffed. Let cool slightly.
  • Whip heavy cream, vanilla, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
  • Spread vanilla cream inside the pastry borders once they’ve cooled.
  • Top with sliced figs and dust with extra powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Best served freshly assembled to preserve crispiness. Store pastry and cream separately if prepping ahead. Substitute figs with pears, apples, or berries. For a vegan version, use dairy-free puff pastry and whipped coconut cream.
