Saffron custard tarts and figs. I really wanted to make a cake with the latest figs, those settembrini, they are tiny but sweet. I wanted a sweet easy and good, It lasted a long time and I remember the summer, giving the Welcome to autumn, a season that I love very much. And I have taken refuge in so many little things that I love: the pastry, the cooked cream, almonds, the smell of Saffron and lemon.
So here these tarts cooked saffron cream and figs, which of course you can also prepare it in a regular Cake Pan large. Why are fragrant saffron you see and hear (If you do not love simply replace it with a bit’ vanilla extract) I loved this combination. And if you're a traditionalist and prefer the classic desserts with cream and apples, you can not miss the apple tart and cream, you can find the VIDEO RECIPE STEP BY STEP on my YouTube channel.
As always, tarts with cream and fruit are great for breakfast, But if the prepared version mignon and serve with ice cream or whipped cream are perfect for a gourmet dinner. I hope I've intrigued a little. And if you like desserts with figs, have a look at all my RECIPES WITH FIGS, sweet and savory, how amazing PORK LOIN WITH ORANGE WITH DRIED FIGS, CHESTNUT AND ONIONS.

hello Gino, thanks for now. Then, normally at the bottom of each recipe (where possible) are pairing wine, but generally do you recommend three that go well with all sweets: Calcaia of Barberani, Torcolato Breganze Maculan, Donnafugata Ben Rye. Let me know. ADA
They look just delicious these tartlets…Sicilian sweets are too and I love with figs!
Hi Cristina, Thanks! If you decide to try them only eye in that Saffron is really a hint… If you live in Sicily and find our figs already envy…
