Decadent, rich chocolate ganache filling, a nutty crust and juicy sweet fresh figs make this roasted figs chocolate ganache tart a treat for a special occasion. And not to worry, it is super easy to make.
If I have to pick one, just one fruit towards the end of summer, hands down is going to be fresh figs. I’ve been in love with figs for years and every summer I look for them at the local farmer’s market or grocery store. As much as I would like to have a fig in the back yard these figs came for California. And as much as I would like to say I hand picked them from the tree, I bought them from the local grocery store.
Either way, hand picked by me or just picked from the produce section of the store fresh figs make my heard skip a beat.
After eating almost a whole box in just few days I remembered this chocolate fig tart recipe from my friend Sylvie. I have saved it since she shared the recipe 2 years ago and have been waiting for the right time to make it.
Few weeks ago seemed like the perfect time. And my friends agreed with me. The whole 11″ tart was gone in no time!
If you’ve never had figs and chocolate, well I highly advise you to give it a try. In my opinion is as good, or maybe even better than chocolate and strawberries and i’m pretty sure everyone know how insanely good that combo is!
This roasted figs chocolate ganache tart was adapted from Sylvie’s tart. Although I did not add roasted figs at the bottom of the part like Sylvie did (because I ate most of them while waiting for the crust to chill) I made sure each slice got at least one piece of roasted fig on top.
The crust is made gluten free, using ground pecans and rolled oats while the ganache is made from a combo of bittersweet and semisweet chocolate and heavy cream. If you want a vegan version, you can use coconut milk like Sylvie did.

Absolutely gorgeous Roxanna! I have actually been on pinterest all morning looking up fig tart/pie recipes. This one looks like a must try!
Wow Roxanna, this cake is to dream of! So little fat in the crust, so much chocolate in the topping… and the fresh figs! It looks fantastic!
Many thanks for sharing. Will keep it on my “to bake list”.
These photos look so great! I’ve never tried figs and chocolate in baking before, probably because I absolutely LOVE figs and goat cheese as a combo and I have a hard time resisting that in the kitchen. This recipe might just convince me to finaly break out of the mold, though. It looks fantastic!
Figs are so beautiful to me and this tart looks amazing. I never thought to pair figs with chocolate but I should have known that you would Roxana, the Chocolate Queen!
This is so pretty! And love how easy it is. And can I say how much I love it that you do GF stuff sometimes? I don’t eat GF either but it’s so easy to make recipes GF sometimes. Hooray for oats. 🙂
I literally just tried fresh figs for the first time this year! I’m still getting used to the texture, but roasting them I think I could definitely get on board with. And the ganache + crust?! OMG. Faceplant!
I must say you have the best recipes ever!! I try to follow a low carb diet, but I am always so incredibly tempted by all your amazing recipes. Whenever I open your emails I am left drooling and I save many of them for special occasions.
It’s always so difficoult to believe that such an amazing looking dessert is easy to make.
I love roasted figs (and chocolate ganache for that matter). Beautiful tart!
I’m not a big fig fan, but they are gorgeous, and I’m sure delicious with all that chocolate. Your photos are stunning
Oh my, this is positively decadent and 100% delicious, I’m sure! I love roasted figs and will definitely take your suggestion and try them with chocolate ganache very soon 🙂
Your version looks amazing and absolutely decadent with the figs piled on top! I must get my hands on some figs and make this again soon.
Gorgeous tart with chocolate ganache! Roasted figs make it a very European dessert – love it!
Oh my gosh! I’m obsessing over figs right now…and this tart looks so incredible!
Lovely – thank you!
I am convinced that figs are the prettiest fruit. Your tart is gorgeous!
Roxana, this tart is gorgeous. I never really know what to do with figs other than make jam. Now I know exactly what I’ll be doing with figs. Yum!
This is such a pretty and decadent tart! I for some reason use figs more frequently in savory recipes, but they surely look good with chocolate!
This is so elegant looking I can’t even stand it…so grown up and perfect for a fancy dinner party!!
Looks delicious! I’ve been seeing fig in the produce section, I should pick some up!
wow this looks amazing and great photos
Figs are my favorite fruit and love to combine it with chocolate! I love how thick the chocolate topping is on this tart! It must be the winner among all chocolate tart recipes!
I love figs, although I have never had them with chocolate. This is a must try.
Wow, gorgeous fig tart Roxana.
Beautiful, beautiful tart Roxana! My sister just sent me home with some figs from her tree and I now know just what to make 🙂
Incredible! I will miss figs when they are gone, I hope to try this before the season ends, Roxana!
