  • Preparation: 60 min
  • Cooking: 40 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (150 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, egg, gluten, nut

Ingredients

  • 31 g Shortcrust pastry
  • 2.5 g Ground almonds
  • 88 g Mirabelle plums
  • 10 g Sugar
  • 6.2 g Egg
  • 12 g Crème fraîche

Method

  1. Makes one 24 cm tart, cut into 8 slices; the amounts are for one slice, so multiply every ingredient by 8 for the whole tart. Heat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F).
  2. Line a 24 cm tart tin with the pastry, prick the base all over with a fork and chill for 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile halve the mirabelles and take out the stones.
  4. Scatter the ground almonds over the pastry base, where they soak up the juice, then pack the plums in tight circles, cut side up: they shrink as they bake. Sprinkle with half the sugar.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes. Whisk the egg with the crème fraîche and the rest of the sugar, pour it between the plums and bake for 15-20 minutes more, until the custard has set, the pastry is golden and the plums are soft and caramelised at the edges.
  6. Leave to cool for at least 30 minutes, and eat warm or cold.
