🍯 Jamie Oliver Fig Tart Ingredients:

300 g luxury fruit and nut mix
500 g Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
1 teaspoon runny honey, plus extra for serving

🥧 How To Make Jamie Oliver Fig Tart:

Prepare the Cake Tin: Line a 20 cm springform cake tin with greaseproof paper.
Make the Base: Pour the fruit and nut mix into a food processor. Blitz until the mixture is fine and tacky—it should be easy to mold with your hands. Press this mixture into the base of your lined tin, pushing it up the sides about 2.5 cm. Place the tin in the freezer for 1 hour to firm up.
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, vanilla bean paste, and 1 teaspoon of honey. Mix well.
Assemble the Tart: After the base has set, spoon the yogurt mixture into the chilled tart case. Return to the freezer for another hour, or until the filling is slightly set.
Garnish and Serve: Release the tart from the tin. Cut the figs in halves or quarters and arrange them nicely on top of the tart. Generously drizzle with additional honey. Serve chilled.

💭 Recipe Tips

Make the Base Right: Make sure to blend the fruit and nut mix until it’s sticky. This makes a good, firm base.
Freeze the Base Well: Keep the base in the freezer for one hour so it sets well before you add the yogurt.
Use Thick Yogurt: Choose thick, full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamy taste that goes well with the crunchy base and sweet figs.
Choose Good Honey: Use very good honey that is liquid for drizzling. It makes the figs taste better and adds sweetness to the tart.
How to Serve: Freeze the tart as the recipe says. Then, let it sit out for a little while before you serve it so it’s not too hard.
