Rose Lyn, I haven't made too many dumplings myself but I will keep an eye out for a recipe... izang, not sure if there is a tagalog word for the figs used in this dessert, however, oddly, we have a close relative to figs apparently growing in Palawan and elsewhere, though I am not sure if they are edible. Mackenzie, a date walnut bread or food for the Gods is a good alternative use... I had a recipe for food for the gods a week or two ago. Wilson, I have never tried a fig with a mango...have to try that soon. Apicio, I have to say, it tasted good and natural but I couldn't pick the flavor notes too well...I can best describe it as tasting less sweet and yet obviously more pure. I haven't attempted the baklava yet, though I have the nuts... and yes, they do sell frozen phyllo dough here erratically... millet, you are right, the crunch is the key besides the intense flavor of the figs themselves... Oggi, welcome to the realm of commenters. Maria Clara, thanks for the thumbs up!

Oooh...and I can imagine how good it would be with ice cream! Strange coincidence...I also used figs to fill an extra crust I had for a mushroom tart I was making once. This only proves that it's good to always have figs in the house! :) That looks amazing! Oooh…and I can imagine how good it would be with ice cream!

Thumbs up again! Your fig tart looks so divine considering you used only few ingredients in it, in addition to brandy and almonds. Again, thank you for sharing this with us.
