Preparation
The Crust
- Process all the crust ingredients in a food processor until finely ground. The mixture should hold together when pressed firmly into the pie tray.
- Line the pie tray with cling wrap and press the mixture firmly into the tray.
- Dehydrate for 3 hours at 105º.
- Remove the crusts from the cases and dehydrate for a further 8 hours at 105º, on a dehydrator mesh sheet.
If you don’t have a dehydrator, use an oven. Keep the oven door slightly open (a spoon can be used for this purpose). Set the oven at the lowest temperature and monitor the crust cases throughout the drying period, as every oven is different and the temperatures vary.
The Filling
- Process all the filling ingredients in a food processor until they form a paste, except for the figs.
- Add the figs and process for 10 seconds until combined.
- Place the mixture in the fridge overnight to marinate.
The Icing
- Process all icing ingredients in a mini prep until completely smooth.
