Making the Perfect Plum Tarte Tatin

I'm excited to kick off today's tutorial on how to make a delicious plum tarte tatin. This dessert is sweet, fruity, and has a flaky pastry that will melt in your mouth.

Firstly, I'm going to plunge into the key ingredients you'll need: mixed plums, ground cinnamon, maple syrup, all-butter puff pastry, and vanilla ice cream. These pure and simple ingredients come together to create a beautiful and tasty dessert.

Start by preheating your oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

Next, you'll want to prepare the plums. Cut them into halves and remove the stones. Make sure to use a variety of plums for a burst of different flavors and colors in your tarte tatin.

Once the plums are ready, it's time to prepare the caramel. In a non-stick ovenproof pan, sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon and pour in the maple syrup. Place the pan over medium heat until the mixture starts to bubble and caramelize.

Now, it's time to arrange the plums in the caramel. Place the cut side of the plums down in the pan, fitting them closely together in a circular pattern. Make sure to cover the entire bottom of the pan with plums.

Roll out the all-butter puff pastry and carefully place it over the plums, tucking in the edges around the fruit. Prick the pastry with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.

Once the plum tarte tatin is ready, carefully remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. To serve, place a large plate or serving dish over the pan and quickly flip it over, so the plums and caramel are now on top.

Serve the plum tarte tatin warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. The combination of warm caramelized plums, flaky pastry, and creamy ice cream is simply divine!

Now that you know how to make a delicious plum tarte tatin, it's time to impress your friends and family with this delightful dessert. Enjoy!
