- 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
- 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).
- Line a 24 cm tart tin with the pastry, prick the base all over with a fork and chill for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile halve the mirabelles and take out the stones.
- 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.
- 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.
- Leave to cool for at least 30 minutes, and eat warm or cold.
