Fig tart with neufchatel and walnuts

I made a trip to the farmers market in Little Italy for the first time and they had some delicious figs which just begged to be made into a delicious tart. I searched for a nice recipe to showcase them, but didn't come up with anything. I didn't like the sound of marscapone, it is too rich for me, so I ended up adapting the cherry tart I've made may times.

I decided to lighten the recipe up and make it a little healthier by reducing the sugar and replacing the heavy cream with yogurt. This is by no means a low calorie recipe, but I decided the tart yogurt would counter the sweet figs much better for a well rounded and delicious dessert. I think I succeeded, we all had to go back for seconds!
