Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2/3 cup dark rum
3 tablespoons honey
2/3 cup chopped dried dark figs
1 pound ricotta cheese
1/4 pound cream cheese at room temperature
3 whole eggs
1 egg yolk
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 cup powdered sugar
6 mint sprigs

In a medium bowl, combine the dark rum and honey, and stir. Add the figs
and marinate for 30 minutes. Drain and discard the liquid.

Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.

Combine the ricotta and cream cheese until smooth in an electric mixer. Add
the whole eggs and egg yolk, 1 at a time. Add sugar, lemon juice, zest,
vanilla, and cardamom and mix until combined. Drain the figs and fold into
ricotta mixture. Pour mixture into prepared shell. Do not overfill the
shell, as it will rise slightly when baking.

Bake until the filling is firm to the touch, about 1 hour. Cool before
serving. Garnish with powdered sugar and mint. Refrigerate any leftovers.
