Directions

1. Step
  1. In a bowl, combine 50 g rice flour, 15 g almonds, a pinch of salt, 50 g unsalted butter, and 1 egg yolk. Mix until a dough forms. Divide the mixture in half. Press one half into the bottom of a 15 cm × 5.5 cm round cake pan. Sprinkle the chopped figs evenly over the crust. Wrap the remaining half of the dough in a plastic bag and set aside.

2. Step

In a separate bowl, combine 200 g cream cheese, 50 g sugar, 12 g rice flour, 1 whole egg, 1 egg yolk, 100 ml heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Mix until smooth. Pour the filling over the figs in the cake pan.

3. Step

In another bowl, beat 2 egg whites with 20 g sugar and 1 teaspoon lemon juice until stiff peaks form. Gently spread the meringue over the filling in the cake pan.

4. Step

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Bake the cake for 35–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. Allow to cool completely before serving.
