This chocolate fig tart is both gluten free and vegan, and is the perfect delicious and sophisticated dessert that everyone can enjoy!

So, I have a pressing question for you…have you ever been able to purchase fresh figs?

If so….1-I am jealous 2-please share where you got them and 3-I am extremely jealous!

Fresh figs have eluded me for YEARS! Every time I think they’re supposed to be in season (late summer/early fall?) I’ll be on the lookout for them, but have never been able to actually find fresh ones (at one point I think I called 6 different grocery stores when someone mentioned to me in passing they had seen figs!)

The last time I (or I should really say- the one and only time) was able to find fresh figs was when my friend Charlotte (congrats to her-she’s getting married next year and is my awesome photog friend from NC) and I were at a farmers market in Raleigh when it pouring rain, right before I flew home from my bachelorette party (pic from that glorious day here – August 5, 2012).  In the craziness of the rain and excitement, I spotted figs and purchased them to fly home with (I feel like I should get a special pass for security going between Raleigh and Milwaukee, in 2012 in was figs, last Christmas I made my hubby carry a backpack full of cheese for this same friend in NC… I sense a pattern lol).

So, when I actually spotted fresh figs at Fresh Market, I bought the one and only carton they had, did a little happy dance, and definitely was ‘that girl’ calling my husband and loudly proclaiming ‘I FOUND FRESH FIGS!!!! OMG OMG OMG I’M SO EXCITED’

Fresh-Figs

And since I want everyone to enjoy figs and chocolate, I made this recipe both gluten free and vegan!

The crust of this tart is made with delicious walnuts giving it a nice nutty flavor, and then the chocolate is fudgey and gooey and is topped off with the subtle, yet sweet fig fruit. Makes for delicious bite after bite!

Chocolate Fig Tart {Gluten Free & Vegan}

Prep Time: 15 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes minutes
Servings: 8 -10

Ingredients

  • -For the crust-
  • 1 Cup Walnuts
  • 1/4 Cup Gluten Free Flour I use King Arthur Flour brand
  • 2 Tbs Coconut Oil
  • -For the tart filling-
  • 1 Cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 Cup Light Corn Syrup
  • 1/3 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 4 Tbs Coconut Oil melted
  • 3 Tbs Gluten Free Flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 6-8 oz Fresh Figs quartered

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350. Spray a tart pan with cooking spray (I have a removable bottom tart pan).
  • To make the tart crust put all ingredients in a food processor. and process until they come together in a crumbly mixture (it's ok if there are some walnut chucks left). Pour the contents into the tart pan and press into the bottom and up the sides to form the tart crust.
  • Next make the tart filling. In a microwave safe bowl melt the chocolate chips in 30 second intervals stirring in between. When the chocolate has melted (mine usually takes two minutes in the microwave). Next pour the brown sugar into the chocolate and stir to incorporate, then next spray a measuring up with cooking spray and then pour the corn syrup into it (this way it won't stick to the measuring cup). Then pour the corn syrup into the chocolate mixture, then stir, then pour the coconut oil and the gluten free flour and vanilla into the batter and stir so that everything is incorporated. Then pour the batter into crust, then lay pieces of fresh figs around the border of the tart and bake the tart for 30-40 minutes, until it is bubbly. Remove from oven and let it cool completely (it will form a sticky-fudgey consistency when it cools). Slice and enjoy!

    This tart looks and sounds delish!
    I love fresh figs and have two fig trees so I get loads of them :). Always looking for new ways to use them and we’ve recently started baking vegan and gluten free so I’m dying to try this however, I’ve never made a tart and don’t even own a tart pan so I’m going to buy one today. My question is do I leave the cooked tart in the pan or remove it for serving?

      Hi! that’s so neat you have a fig tree! I usually leave it in the pan for serving (less mess that way, so if it breaks no one notices 🙂 )

    Your fig photo is gorgeous! I can get fresh figs here in Miami but after trying figs for the very first time a couple weeks ago, I discovered I don’t like them. They taste too much like raisins, dates, etc which I also don’t like.

      Thank you so much for the compliment about my fig photo 🙂 I know not everyone loves raisins, prunes, dates…etc, but I’m totally in love with the both the fresh and dried variety, bring on the wrinkly goodness lol and I’m super jealous you can get them in Miami….might have to have you bring me some next time you come to WI 😉

    I have never bought fresh figs either. I have to admit that I wasn’t really on the lookout. I don’t know why, because I LOVE them. I eat the dried ones all the time. And your tart looks AWESOME! Just like something I want to do right away. I’ll probably be on the lookout for them now. 🙂 Thanks for sharing, Phi. 🙂

    I haven’t had a fig in YEARS! Everybody seems to love them. The last time I had one was at the house of my greek friends grandparents (the greeks love their figs) – but i couldn’t get over my initial impression – I thought the fig flesh looked like raw meat for some reason?! I didn’t enjoy it and haven’t tried another one since…Nonetheless, this tart looks delicious! Again, it is as if it has been ripped straight out of a cookbook, your photos are perfect! I am totally going to use your recipes to trial veganism 😉

      Thank you SO MUCH Tashiana for your lovely comment, it totally made my day! I can see how you were hesitant to try them though and can see you may not have enjoyed them…if not used right they can have an odd, mild, bitter taste. But, in a sweet chocolately tart like this? They are amazing!

With end of school and life business, May was actu With end of school and life business, May was actually a slower reading/listening month than I’ve had in a while. I read/listened to 4 books this month, and they were all romancy books 💕
Meet Me At The Lake - 5/5. I loved Carley Fortunes first book Every Summer After (one my favorites ever) and her next book did not disappoint. I liked it a smidge less than her first one, but it was an all around good book!
Yours Truly - 4/5. If you’ve ever had anxiety, this book does a great job of having characters with crippling anxiety and describes it well. I did feel like some of this was very repetitive and just wanted the story to move a little faster. And have the good parts be a little longer.
Romantic Comedy - 3.5/5. This book got a TON of hype and tbh I’m not quite sure it lived up to it, it didn’t for me. It was just ok!
The Spanish Love Deception - 4/5 – I thought this was super cute, but again, a little too long to get to the good part of the story, I had to skip a few beginning chapters, but overall cute!
Read my full review of these books in my latest blog post! ❤️
