Serve the tarts warm or at room temperature with the cumin-chocolate syrup drizzled over the top.

Strain the seeds out and blend with the chocolate in a bowl. For the chocolate syrup, bring 100ml water, the sugar and cumin seeds to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes until the cumin has infused the syrup fully.Sprinkle liberally with demerara sugar and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and crisp. Place one fig half, cut side up, in each corner of a tart and a date between each fig half. To make the filling, trim the figs and cut in half.Brush with the remaining egg yolk and refrigerate for 10 minutes. This forms the sides of your three-point tart. Brush each disc with egg, then roll one section of the perimeter in to form a rolled edge, then turn the disc a third of a turn and roll again, then repeat for the final side.Use a saucer or metal cutter to create your round shape. Put plenty of plain flour on your surface, then divide your dough into 4 larger pieces or 6 more modest-sized pieces and roll each to 5mm thick.Beat egg whites (at room temperature) until stiff peaks form. Cream butter and sugar in a medium mixing bowl add egg yolks, beating well. Wrap the pastry in clingfilm and refrigerate for 2 hours until set and quite firm. Shape dough into 1-inch balls press into 48 miniature 1 3/4-inch muffin tins to form shells.

Pour the mixture onto the tart and bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 45 minutes, or until the tart is crispy and golden. Gradually mix in the flour until a paste is formed use a food mixer if this becomes heavy work. Separately, in a bowl, whisk the Nestl Sweetened Condensed Milk, eggs, cinnamon, cardamom (optional), vanilla, and salt.

With a wooden spoon, mix together the butter, cream cheese and vanilla until smooth and fully incorporated.
