Weep weep! (Any way to tone it down? Or did I just mismeasure something? I tried having it with black espresso, too.. still overpowering.) I'll just have to lacquer it and keep it around as a most gorgeous centerpiece! The tart came out exquisitely beautiful… but way too sweet for me to eat! Weep weep! (Any way to tone it down?

You could make 4 to 6 tartelettes (depending on size) with this recipe or one 9 1/2 inch tart. The soft figgy goodness sets in the almond/custard so it slices fairly well.

The tart in the picture is much smaller than 9 1/2 inch, or you have enormous forks. Is that to make it look fancy for the bossman? Just a bit unsure if the end result would slice well with all the soft figgy goodness in there. Thanks, Thijs Hi Zen,

I like the <a href="http://www.myvanillashop.com/" rel="nofollow">vanilla beans</a> add on, I could imagine the scent right now, mouth watering. Thanks for the recipe, definitely gonna try this.
