Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, cool, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten with a tbsp. of water, for egg wash
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) powdered sugar
- 6 ounce (170 g) s cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 tsp (10 ml). vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 1 pint figs, roughly 8 – 10 figs
- 1 tbsp (15 ml). honey
- 2 tbsp (30 ml). fresh lemon juice
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) powdered sugar
- 2 tsp (10 ml). milk or cream
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking tray with parchment paper. Prepare the egg wash by mixing the egg with a tablespoon of water and place it aside.
- In a small bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla until smooth and consistent. Set this mixture aside.
- Cut the figs in half, then each half into thirds, resulting in about six slices per fig. In a medium bowl, combine the fig slices with the remaining vanilla, honey, and lemon juice. Mix them well and set aside.
- Take the puff pastry out of the refrigerator. It should be folded into thirds. Carefully unfold it on a clean towel or lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to gently smooth out and level the creases.
- Cut the pastry sheet into six equal sections with a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Arrange the pieces on the prepared baking tray. Use a paring knife to score a border around the edges and a fork to poke holes in the center of each piece.
- Spread roughly two tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each pastry piece using an offset spatula.
- Arrange 8 to 9 fig slices over the cream cheese layer, gently pressing them to hold in place. Brush the edges of the pastry with the prepared egg wash.
- Bake the pastries for 16 to 18 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown. Allow them to cool on the baking tray.
- While the pastries are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the remaining powdered sugar with milk or cream. Once the pastries have cooled, drizzle the glaze over them before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth and creamy filling consistency.
- Cut the figs into uniform slices using a sharp knife for even distribution on the pastries.
- Brush the pastry edges with egg wash for a golden, shiny finish post-baking.
