Elevate lime and cardamom tart with elegant honey drizzled figs.
Ingredients:
  • 1 quantity sweet shortcrust pastry (see sweet shortcrust variation with related recipe)
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) fresh lime juice
  • 30.00 ml finely grated lime rind
  • 20.00 ml cardamom seeds
  • 5 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 300ml thin cream
  • 175g (3/4 cup) caster sugar
  • 4 fresh figs, cut in half
  • 60g (1/4 cup) caster sugar, extra
Instructions:
  • In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine lime juice, lime rind, and cardamom seeds. Cook for 2 minutes until warmed. Let it cool for 10 minutes. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, sugar, and the lime mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours to infuse.
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C. Roll out the pastry into a 3mm-thick disc, then line a 23cm round fluted tart tin with removable base, trimming any excess. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to rest.
  • Line the pastry base with baking paper and weigh it down with rice or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the paper and rice or beans, then bake for an additional 8 minutes until golden brown. Take it out of the oven and lower the temperature to 160°C.
  • Pass the lime mixture through a fine sieve into a jug, then pour it into the baked pastry case. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until just set, then allow it to cool completely. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour before serving.
  • Place fig halves decoratively on top of the tart. In a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, melt extra sugar by stirring for 5 minutes until it turns into golden toffee. Remove from heat and let it sit for 1 minute until the bubbles disappear. Drizzle the toffee over the figs and allow it to set for 5 minutes.
