Description
Calisson is a popular, classic candy from France with a distinct fruit and almond flavor. In this dessert, a cream that is made from the same ingredients acts as the base for fresh, fruity figs. A crisp, buttery crust works perfectly with the creamy calisson base and the tender figs. Make this in the fall when figs are at their peak ripeness and enjoy it at the end of a long autumn meal.

- 1 jar cream (calisson)
- 12 figs (fresh, depending on size)
- icing sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Spread the dough on a baking sheet, and sprinkle with icing sugar. Press the dough firmly into the pan to prevent swelling.

- Spread calisson cream on the dough.
- Cut the figs in thin slices and place on top.
- If you don't have or don't like calisson cream, replace with custard.

I loved this tart. The instructions said you could use custard and since that is what I had, I used it in place of the cream. I also put the finished tart under a broiler just for a minute or two to caramelize the figs.
