In a food processor, add all the necessary ingredients for making the dough. It is essential that the butter is soft enough, left at room temperature, to combine easily with the other ingredients. If you want a more intense cocoa flavor, feel free to add a little more than the recommended amount. Start the processor at medium speed and observe how the dough gradually forms. When it shrinks and becomes a compact ball, it means it has reached the desired consistency. The dough should be homogeneous and not stick to the walls of the container.
If you do not have a food processor, do not worry! You can prepare the dough manually, using a spatula or even your hands. Once the dough is ready, roll it out on a floured surface until you get an even sheet. This sheet will be used to line a round baking pan with a diameter of 24-26 cm. Make sure the edges of the pan are covered with dough, leaving a border of about 2 cm in height.
Do not forget to place parchment paper on the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking. In a separate bowl, mix ricotta with an egg, sugar, vanilla extract, and chopped figs, keeping the skin intact for added texture and flavor. Pour this delicious filling into the prepared pan, making sure it is evenly distributed.
For a nice appearance, you can decorate the tart with a few slices of figs, placing them in the center or on the edges, depending on your preferences. Preheat the oven to 180°C (gas oven) and bake the tart for about 40-45 minutes, until it becomes golden and firm to the touch.
After the tart is baked, let it cool well in the pan. This will allow the flavors to stabilize and will make cutting easier. Before serving, you can sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top for an elegant look and sweet taste. Enjoy this fig and ricotta tart with a cup of tea or aromatic coffee, and savor every bite!
