Question

.....I don't have a clue if it might taste god or not. What do you think?

Fresh Fig Dessert Pizza
1 18 oz. package prepared sugar cookie dough

4 oz. cream cheese, softened

1/4 C. mascarpone or sour cream

1 egg

1 pound firm, ripe fresh figs (about 8 large), quartered

1/4 C. currant or apple jelly

2 t. fresh lemon juice

Preheat oven to 325°F.

Slice and place the cookie dough in a single layer on a 12-inch pizza pan. Allow to stand for a few minutes at room temperature until softened. Flour hands generously and press dough slices together evenly to about 1/4 inch thick, leaving 1/2-inch raised edges all around. Bake at 325°F for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool.

Combine cream cheese, mascarpone and egg in a small bowl. Beat until smooth. Spread evenly over crust except on edges. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until filling is set and lightly browned. Cool.

Just before serving, arrange fig quarters on top. Melt jelly with lemon juice in a small saucepan over low heat and brush onto figs. Cut into wedges.

Makes 8 servings.

oops, I meant "good" not "god"

Answer 1

A fig taste kind of like an apple and a pear mixed together. Have you ever had a Fig Newton cookie? My mother has a couple of fig trees in her yard and she makes fig preserves when they are in season. If you want to get the taste of them before you go through the expense and time of making this dish, go to the store and buy a fig and taste it for yourself. Good luck and I hope that you like them.

A small note to you: You could substitute the fig with another fruit if you like. That recipe sounds good and if you aren't sure about the figs, use apples, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or any combination.
