What
150g white marzipan
5 tbsp double cream
2 tbsp granular Canderel, plus extra for dusting
375g packet ready-rolled puff pastry, thawed if frozen
50g ground almonds
8 figs, sliced in wedges
25g flaked almonds
How
Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/ gas 6.
Whizz the marzipan, cream and Canderel together in a food processor
until it's a smooth, thick paste.
Unroll the pastry and lay on a baking sheet. Using the tip of a sharp
knife, score a line, about 2.5cm in from the edge, that goes all the
way around the pastry.
Spread the marzipan mixture over the centre of the pastry up to the
scored line. Scatter with the ground almonds and arrange the sliced
figs over the marzipan to cover. Sprinkle with the flaked almonds and
dust with the extra Canderel.
Bake for 15 minutes until the edges are risen and golden. Serve with a dollop of cream, ice cream or crème fraîche.
