Ingredients:

  • chocolate , fig , and marsala pastries
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 2/3 cup marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 12 circles of the sweet cream cheese dough (see below)
  • 1 tbsp confectioners' sugar

Directions:

  1. Directions for the little pastries:
  2. In a medium saucepan, mix together water, wine, brown sugar and chopped figs.
  3. Bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer until the figs are tender and most of the liquid is gone - about 25 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat.
  6. Mix in vanilla and nutmeg.
  7. Cover and place in the refrigerator for one hour.
  8. When cold, remove and mix in chocolate and egg yolk.
  9. Using the chilled dough circles, spoon about 2 tablespoons of the fig mixture on the center of the dough.
  10. Fold one edge over to the other and seal with a fork.
  11. Set on a parchment lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining filling and dough circles.
  12. Cover and set in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  13. Preheat oven to 425
  14. Remove pastries from the freezer and take off the cover.
  15. Using a fork, pierce each top once.
  16. Bake on bottom rack until the edges are golden brown - about 18-20 minutes.
  17. Remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  18. When cool, sift confectioners' sugar on the tops of the pastries.
  19. Sweet Cream Cheese Dough:
  20. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  21. 1/4 cup sugar
  22. 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  23. 1/8 teaspoon salt
  24. 4 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
  25. 4 tablespoons cream cheese, cut into small pieces
  26. 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  27. 4 to 5 tablespoons ice water
  28. In the bowl of a food processor, add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  29. Pulse until combined.
  30. Add in cubed butter, cream cheese and vinegar - pulse 4 times. Pour in ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing just until combined.
  31. You don't want the dough to form a ball, however, you want it to be moist enough to hold together when you press it between your fingers.
  32. Scoop half of the dough into a 1 cup measuring cup.
  33. Press to compact the dough, remove and form a ball.
  34. Cut the ball into 6 even pieces.
  35. Repeat with remaining dough.
  36. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  37. Using one piece of dough at a time, roll each piece into a 5 circle on a lightly floured surface.
  38. Repeat with the rest of the divided dough. Cover and chill until you are ready to use.
