This heavenly Alsatian tart of creamy custard and fresh, tender plums is just as delicious made with halved apricots or pitted cherries.
Ingredients
- 2 cups pitted halved prune plums, (about 1 lb/500 g)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup whipping cream
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- Pat-in Sweet Pastry:
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 4 tsp cornstarch
- 3/4 cup cold butter, cubed
Preparation
Pat-In Sweet Pastry: In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and cornstarch. Using pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture clumps together. With floured hands, press evenly into 9-inch (23 cm) round tart pan with removable bottom. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
Arrange plums, cut side up and slightly overlapping, in circular pattern over pastry. Sprinkle with all but 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the sugar.
Bake tart in centre of 400°F (200°C) oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until plums are softened.
Meanwhile, in bowl, whisk together cream, egg yolks, vanilla and remaining sugar; pour over fruit.
Bake tart for 25 to 30 minutes longer or until set, golden and knife inserted in centre of filling comes out clean. Let cool on rack. (Make-ahead: Set aside at room temperature for up to 3 hours.)
