Chef's Tips
Toast the almonds in a dry skillet on the stovetop instead of the oven if preferred. Keep a close eye on them as they can burn quickly.
For a more intense fig flavor, macerate the figs in a little honey and lemon juice for 15-20 minutes before assembling the dessert.
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or cardamom for a warm spice note.
