Steps:
- To make the sauce, remove the orange zest with a vegetable peeler, avoiding the white pith. Place in a heavy medium saucepan with the water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes. Transfer the peel and 1/4 cup of the liquid (discard the rest) to a blender and blend until minced. Return it to the saucepan and stir in the sugar.
- Cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves, swirling the pan occasionally. Increase heat and boil until the mixture turns a deep brown. Standing back to avoid splatter, pour in the orange and lemon juices. Bring to a simmer and stir until sugar crystals dissolve and the sauce is smooth. Mix the cornstarch with the liqueur, add to the sauce and cook for 1 minute. Cool. Strain through a fine sieve. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 4 to 6 hours.
- To make the cookies, pulse the sugar, pistachios, cinnamon and flour in a food processor until the nuts are finely ground. Add the butter and process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the egg and process just until crumbly and moistened. (If too dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time.) Turn out onto a large sheet of plastic wrap, press the dough together and form into a rectangle. Wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll the dough out between 2 sheets of plastic wrap into a 12-by-16-inch rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Cut out 6 5-inch circles using a floured cutter. Use a spatula to transfer the rounds to 1 of the baking sheets. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Transfer half of the cookies to the second prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly. Bake until golden brown, switching positions of the baking sheets halfway through, about 15 to 20 minutes. Cool. Loosen with a spatula and transfer to racks in a single layer.
- To make the topping, pulse the dried figs in a food processor until minced. With the machine running, add the water 1 tablespoon at a time, until the puree is a smooth, spreadable paste.
- To serve, carefully spread each cookie with fig puree and place 1 on each of 6 plates. Garnish with blackberries, figs and sifted sugar. Ladle sauce around the cookies and serve immediately.

CANDIED-ORANGE CHOCOLATE-CARAMEL TART
This knockout dessert was inspired by the legendary chocolate-caramel tart created by the equally legendary pastry chef Claudia Fleming. To impart citrus flavor, we used the syrup leftover from candying orange peel to make the caramel. A thick layer of chocolate ganache follows, and sprinklings of the candied zest and fleur de sel glimmer on top like encrusted jewels.

Steps:
- Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F. Pulse wafers in a food processor until finely ground. Add butter, sugar, and fleur de sel; pulse until evenly moistened. Press evenly into the bottom and up sides of a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Bake until firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.
- Candied orange: With a vegetable peeler, remove orange zest in strips (leaving white pith behind); finely slice. In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Add zest; reduce heat to medium and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and strain, reserving syrup (you should have about 1/2 cup).
- Transfer zest to a large plate and spread in an even layer; let cool completely. Toss with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Zest can be stored up to 1 week in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Caramel and ganache: Combine cream and orange zest in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then remove from heat, cover, and let steep 1 hour. Strain. Measure 6 tablespoons; refrigerate the rest.
- Bring reserved orange syrup, sugar, 2 tablespoons water, salt, and cream of tartar to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook, gently swirling pan occasionally, and washing down sides with a wet pastry brush (to prevent crystals from forming), until mixture turns deep amber, 9 to 11 minutes. Remove from heat and slowly add reserved 6 tablespoons infused cream (mixture will bubble and steam). Stir in butter until smooth. Pour caramel into cooled crust; let cool 15 minutes. Refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours or, covered, up to 2 days.
- Place chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring 1/3 cup reserved infused cream (saving any remainder for another use) to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour over chocolate and let stand1 minute, then stir until smooth. Remove tart from refrigerator and spread ganache over caramel to edges with an offset spatula. Return to refrigerator until chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
- Remove tart from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature 15 to 30 minutes. Chop 2 tablespoons candied zest and sprinkle over chocolate. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and more chopped candied zest; remove from pan, slice, and serve.
