The Tart with Fig Jam and Walnuts, cooked in an Air Fryer is a dessert made with two layers of crumbly shortcrust pastry that enclose a delightful filling of fig jam and walnuts, a perfect combination with a slightly crunchy texture.
The Tart with Fig Jam and Walnuts is a simple dessert suitable for different occasions, starting from breakfast and served at the end of a meal, as a dessert accompanied by a cup of coffee.
One of the most requested and appreciated desserts in the family is the tart, and every time I prepare it, I always make a different version, always considering everyone’s tastes. For instance, my husband goes crazy for the one with cream and berries, my son could never stop eating the one with Nutella, not to mention the crumbly version with ricotta and amaretti…irresistible! In short, there is something for every taste and palate.
I also used the Air Fryer for cooking this time, but it can also be baked in the oven; I’ll leave the instructions after the advice section at the end of the preparation. But now, let’s go to the recipe.
