If you're craving a sweet, fruity dessert with a touch of warmth, this Plum & Ginger Tart is a perfect choice! Combining the tartness of juicy plums with the spicy sweetness of crystallised ginger, this delightful treat is sure to impress at any gathering. With a flaky, buttery puff pastry base and a simple, yet indulgent filling, it offers a beautiful balance of flavors and textures.

This vegetarian dessert is easy to make, and while it might look like a showstopper, the steps are simple enough for both beginners and experienced bakers. The blend of breadcrumbs, muscovado sugar, and ginger creates a fragrant, slightly caramelized layer beneath the plums, enhancing the tart's complexity. The slight crispiness of the golden pastry edge perfectly contrasts with the tender, juicy plums on top.

Whether you're hosting a dinner party or enjoying a cozy night in, this tart pairs wonderfully with a scoop of clotted cream or a generous scoop of ice cream. In just 40 minutes, you'll have a warm, satisfying dessert that's as beautiful as it is delicious. Serve it up, and prepare for compliments!

Ingredients

  • 50 breadcrumbs dried
  • 50 g muscovado sugar light
  • 25 ginger chopped
  •  egg whites lightly beaten
  • 300 puff pastry 
  • 600 plums halved
  • servings clotted cream 

Equipment

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas
  2. Mix together the breadcrumbs, sugar, ginger and egg white.
  3. Roll out the pastry and cut into a 35cm round.
  4. Transfer to a large baking sheet, then use a fork to spread the crumb paste over the centre of the pastry to within 7cm of the edges. Cover with the plums, cut-sides up, and sprinkle with 1 tbsp sugar.
  5. Flip the pastry over the plums to create an edge, pleating or pinching it together with your fingers to keep in place.

  7. Serve warm cut into wedges with clotted cream or ice cream.
