Instructions

Ingredients & Preparation Method

1

Prepare a Massa Briseé: Em um processador de alimentos, combine a farinha, o açúcar de confeiteiro e o sal. Adicione a manteiga gelada em cubos e pulse até obter uma textura de farofa grossa. Adicione o ovo e pulse novamente até a massa começar a se unir. Não trabalhe demais a massa para garantir a maciez.

2

Refrigerate the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, form a flattened disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step is crucial for the texture of the pie. The short answer is that cooling prevents the dough from shrinking when baking.

3

Preheat and Roll Out the Dough: Pré-aqueça o forno a 180°C (350°F). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough with a rolling pin, forming a circle of approximately 30 cm in diameter. Carefully transfer the dough to a 24 cm diameter pie pan, adjusting it well to the sides and bottom.

4

Bake the Crust Blind: Pierce the bottom of the dough with a fork, cover with parchment paper, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment paper and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Let it cool completely.

5

Prepare the Nectar and Mascarpone Filling: While the dough cools, in a medium bowl, beat the mascarpone with a whisk until creamy. Add the heavy cream, honey, egg yolks, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and fleur de sel. Mix gently until you get a homogeneous and smooth cream. Do not beat excessively.

6

Assemble and Chill the Pie: Pour the filling over the pre-baked and cold dough, spreading evenly. Arrange the fig quarters on top of the cream, pressing them lightly. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight. The most important tip is to ensure the filling sets well.

7

Finalize e Sirva: Antes de servir, regue a torta com as 2 colheres de sopa de mel extra. Decore com pequenos ramos de alecrim fresco, que adicionam um contraste aromático e visual encantador. Se desejar, polvilhe levemente com açúcar de confeiteiro. Sirva em fatias, apreciando a combinação de sabores e texturas.

Chef Tips

- Utilize manteiga sem sal bem gelada cortada em cubinhos para obter a textura folhada e quebradiça na base brisée. - Perfure todo o fundo da massa aberta na fôrma com um garfo antes de colocar o papel-manteiga com os pesos para pré-assar. - Escolha figos roxos maduros, porém com a polpa firme ao toque, para que os cortes em quartos fiquem nítidos e decorativos.

Variations

- Sprinkle chopped pecans or unsalted toasted pistachios over the figs to add a crunchy element. - Add a teaspoon of reduced traditional balsamic vinegar to the drizzling honey to create an exquisite sweet and sour contrast. - Infuse the rosemary leaves in the heated heavy cream and strain before beating with the mascarpone for a homogeneous herbal scent.

Substitutions

- O queijo mascarpone pode ser substituído por cream cheese tradicional batido com uma colher de sopa de creme de leite fresco. - Os figos frescos podem ser substituídos por pêssegos frescos fatiados finos ou ameixas vermelhas maduras em gomos. - O mel silvestre pode ser trocado por xarope de bordo puro ou mel de flor de laranjeira para um perfil mais cítrico.

How to Store

Store refrigerated under a cake dome for up to 3 days. The crust will gradually absorb the cream's moisture after 24 hours.

Can You Freeze It?

Freeze only the pre-baked and cold brisée dough shell wrapped in plastic film for up to 2 months. The mascarpone filling does not freeze.

What to Serve With

Serve accompanied by chilled Sauternes-style dessert wine, a glass of white port wine, or black tea scented with jasmine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does brisée dough need to rest in the refrigerator before rolling out?

Resting under low temperature relaxes the gluten worked in the mixture and hardens the butter, preventing the dough from shrinking in the mold.

Os figos frescos vão ao forno junto com o recheio de mascarpone?

Recomenda-se assar o creme até firmar as bordas e dispor os figos frescos na finalização regados com mel morno para manter o frescor.

How to prevent mascarpone cheese from curdling when beating with liquids?

Keep the mascarpone at room temperature and mix delicately with a whisk without beating at excessive speed.

Qual a melhor fôrma para assar esta torta?

Utilize uma fôrma canelada de metal com fundo falso de 23 a 25 cm de diâmetro para desmoldar a massa sem quebrar as bordas.
