• Mocha & fig tart with an almond pretzel crust

My Italian grandparents had the most impressive fruit and vegetable garden, and on their property were the most amazingly luscious fig trees. I used to think it was very old school Italian to have a fig tree, but now as an adult, I really want one and I always look for new and inventive ways to cook and bake with figs. So, this spicy, rich dessert is a tribute to my Gram and Gramps. With a modest budget, they still managed to make life "spicy and rich" and I feel fortunate to carry on their legacy of the fig. This tart is thick and silky smooth with just the right amount of salty-sweet crunch from the crust. You will fall in love with this tart at first bite! - Cathi Iannone
