Tart with fig jam and chocolate

The tart is one of the classic grandmother's cakes that you can prepare by filling it with creams and fruit to your liking. What we are showing you today is the recipe for Crostata with fig and chocolate jam. As jam we use our Fig and Cinnamon Delight, an organic product with a unique flavour which, when combined with chocolate, becomes the right element for a mouth-watering dessert. 

Ingredients for the Tart with fig jam and chocolate

  • 300g 00 flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 150g sugar
  • 100g butter
  • 200g fig and cinnamon jam
  • 50g dark chocolate

How to make the Tart with fig jam and chocolate

In a fairly large bowl, sift the flour, add the sugar and the cold, diced butter. Knead coarsely, then add the eggs and knead the dough into a smooth dough ball.

Place the dough ball wrapped in cling film in the refrigerator and let it rest for about an hour. Meanwhile, line a baking tray with baking paper. Recover the dough ball and cut one third of it into strips of dough that will cover our tart. Spread the remaining dough in the lined baking tin, raising the edges slightly to accommodate the jam.

Spread the fig jam evenly over the disc of pastry, then add the dark chocolate, reduced to flakes. With the shortcrust pastry set aside we make strips that we will place in a lattice shape on our tart. We preheat the oven to 180°.

Put the tart in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes or until the edges begin to darken. Take the tart with fig jam and chocolate out of the oven and let it cool before eating.
