Ingredients

Scale

For the crust:

  • 170 g all-purpose flour
  • 80 g brown sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 90 g cold unsalted butter

For the fig layer:

  • 400 g dried figs
  • 1 cup water
  • 40 g granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice

For the cream cheese topping:

  • 170 g cream cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 40 g sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crumble Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, salt, and cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces. Rub the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. Assemble the Crumble Base

    Grease or line a 20×30 cm baking pan. Press the crumble dough into the pan and compact it to form a solid base.

  3. Prepare the Fig Compote

    Clean and cut the dried figs. Cook them with water and sugar until softened. Blend the figs with lemon juice until smooth.

  4. Spread the Fig Mixture

    Spread the blended fig mixture over the crumble base in the baking pan.

  5. Make the Cream Cheese Layer

    Beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.

  6. Assemble and Bake

    Pour the cream cheese mixture over the fig layer in the pan. Bake at 180°C for 30 minutes until set and golden. Cool before slicing.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened for a smooth mixture.
  • Adjust sugar and lemon juice in the fig compote to suit your taste preferences.
  • Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
