Ingredients

Crust:
1 1/2 cups flour
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons salted butter
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 eggs
Filling:
3/4 cup crushed amaretti cookies
1 1/2 lbs fresh figs
1/2 cup white rum
1 1/2 cups fresh cream
1 egg yolk
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Directions

For the crust, place flour and butter in a bowl and blend with electric mixer. When well blended, add eggs and powdered sugar. Blend together until a smooth dough forms. Shape dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Roll out dough on floured surface and and place in buttered and floured pie pan.
Wash and cut figs into slices, set aside.
Layer half of the crushed amaretti on the prepared pie crust, then arrange fig slices on top. Cover figs with remaining crushed amaretti. Pour rum on top.
Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 30 minutes. While pie is baking, blend together the egg yolk, cream, and granulated sugar. After the crostata has baked for 30 minutes, remove from oven and pour the cream mixture over the top. Bake for another 20 minutes. Remove from oven, cool, and serve.
