Instructions
 

  • Place pistachios and sugar in bowl of food processor and pulse until finely ground.

  • In a mixing bowl, gently stir the figs together with 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice.
  • Unroll refrigerated pie crust on lightly floured parchment paper that is placed on a flat baking sheet.
  • Spread pistachio datil pepper cream filling in the middle of the pie crust, leaving about a 2 inch border along the outside edge.
  • Place fig sections, skin side down on the pistachio filling, creating a flower or star bust design.
  • Gently fold over outside edges of pie crust onto the outermost ring of figs, pleating as necessary to form a rustic circle with the dough.
  • In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with 1/2 teaspoon of water.  Using a pastry brush, brush the egg wash on the outside edges of the pie crust.
  • Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, if desired.
  • Bake the tart at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.

  • Serve with freshly whipped cream or good quality ice cream if desired.
