It’s finally the season for figs again. Yay! I love these purple little fellas and I am more than happy that you can get figs quite cheap right now. I know not everyone loves figs as much as I do, but if you ended up here you are probably a fan too and will like these Honey Fig Cheesecake Bars. They are delicious! Definitely a recommendation to bake. In my opinion.

I have to admit that I had a short phase in which I did not like figs that much. I did not eat them at all for some time, to be honest. If you want to know why you just have to google how figs are pollinated and turn into fruits. That threw me off a bit. Well… it actually sounds worse than it is. It took me a while to make peace with it, but now it’s all fine again.

Anyway. You can do a lot with these little fellas. They taste great in a sweet dessert or bake but are also delicious in a savory dish. Figs and gorgonzola, for example, are a »match made in heaven«.

Today I did not do much with the figs. They are basically only the decoration on these honey cheesecake bars. But… as you can probably guess already, they are the perfect addition to the cheesecake. If you use figs as decoration, you should make sure that the final product is served as soon as possible. Unfortunately, figs will not look good for long after you cut them and place them on the cheesecake. They are still good to eat for a very long time, but after a few hours they start looking a bit »meh«. Keep that in mind.

Don’t forget the chopped pistachios on top. They might not do a lot flavorwise, but they definitely look good with the purple of the figs. So in case you don’t like them or prefer other nuts – go for it. Some chopped almonds are also nice here.

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

  • English
  • Deutsch

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (325°F). Line a 23x23cm square baking pan with baking parchment and set aside.

2. For the base, add the shortbread cookies to a freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin until you get fine crumbs. Melt the butter, add to the cookie crumbs and mix to combine. Transfer to the prepared baking pan and press down with the back of a spoon to get one even layer. Set aside.

3. For the filling, mix the cream cheese with the xylitol (or sugar), honey, and vanilla extract. Add the eggs and mix until all is well combined. Pour the filling on the cookie base and bake for 45-50 minutes. The edges should have set but the center of the cheesecake can still jiggle a bit when you move the pan. Take out of the oven and let cool down completely, then place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.

4. Cut the figs into slices and place on top of the cheesecake, sprinkle with some chopped pistachios, and drizzle with some honey before serving.

1. Den Ofen auf 160°C (325°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Eine quadratische Backform (23x23cm) mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen.

2. Für den Boden die Butterkekse in einen Gefrierbeutel füllen und mit einem Nudelholz zerdrücken, bis feine Krümel entstehen. Die Butter schmelzen, zu den Kekskrümeln dazugeben und gut vermischen. Die feuchten Krümel in die vorbereitete Backform geben und mit der Rückseite eines Löffels festdrücken, um eine gleichmäßige Schicht zu erhalten. Zur Seite stellen.

3. Für die Füllung den Frischkäse mit Xylit (oder Zucker), Honig und Vanille Extrakt verrühren. Die Eier dazugeben und alles gut verrühren. Die Käsekuchenfüllung auf den Keksboden gießen und dann etwa 45-50 Minuten backen. Die Ränder des Käsekuchens sollten fest geworden sein, aber die Mitte darf noch ein wenig wackeln, wenn man an der Form rüttelt. Den Käsekuchen aus dem Ofen holen und vollständig abkühlen lassen, dann für mindestens 4 Stunden oder über Nacht in den Kühlschrank stellen.

4. Die Feigen in Scheiben schneiden und auf den Käsekuchen legen, mit einigen gehackten Pistazien bestreuen und vor dem Servieren mit etwas Honig beträufeln.

Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
