Total time: 1 hour and 10 minutes
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 40 minutes
Number of servings: 8-10

Ingredients:

For the dough:
- 1 egg
- 200 g butter (cold, 82% fat)
- 400 g flour
- 100 g yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- A pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons sugar

For the filling:
- 500 g plums (fresh, well-ripened)
- 3 packets vanilla sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Walnut halves

For the nut cream:
- 100 ml milk
- 50 g butter
- 150 g finely ground walnuts
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons sugar

Preparing the Plums

The first step in creating this tart is preparing the plums. Choose well-ripened, sweet, and juicy plums. Wash them, then cut them in half and remove the pits. Instead of the pits, place walnut halves, add vanilla sugar and cinnamon. These will add a special flavor and pleasant texture. Let the plum mixture sit so that the flavors combine perfectly.

Preparing the Dough

In a large bowl, beat the egg together with the sugar and a pinch of salt. Then, add the cold butter cut into cubes and the yogurt in which you have dissolved the baking soda. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous composition. Gradually add the flour, continuing to mix until the dough becomes elastic. It is important not to overwork the dough so that it remains tender. Once you have achieved the desired consistency, cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes.

Preparing the Nut Cream

In a saucepan over medium heat, add the milk, sugar, and butter. Stir until the butter is completely melted. Then, add the ground walnuts and cinnamon, stirring continuously until you obtain a homogeneous composition. Turn off the heat and let the cream cool slightly. This will add a note of richness and depth to your tart.

Assembling the Tart

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. In a tart pan, spread 3/4 of the dough, ensuring that you cover the edges of the pan well. Prick the dough with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking. Place the prepared plums on top, then pour the nut cream evenly over the fruit. Use the remaining dough to create a lattice on top, which will add a rustic look and allow steam to escape during baking.

Baking

Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the dough is golden and crisp. The aroma that will spread throughout the house will be simply irresistible. Once baked, let the tart cool for a few minutes before slicing. You can serve it dusted with sugar for a more elegant look.

Serving Suggestions

This sweet plum tart with nut cream is perfect alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a glass of sweet white wine. You can also pair it with a cup of aromatic tea, which will perfectly complement the rich flavors of the dessert. Another idea is to serve it with a caramel sauce, which adds extra sweetness and a creamy texture.

Nutritional Benefits

Plums are known for their rich content of vitamins and minerals, being an excellent source of fiber that aids digestion. Walnuts are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and antioxidants, providing an important nutrient boost. This tart is not only delicious but also healthy, making it suitable for a sweet snack without guilt.

Possible Variations

If you want to experiment, you can replace the plums with other seasonal fruits, such as peaches or apples. You can also add some pecans or almonds to the nut cream for a different texture. Feel free to put your personal touch on this recipe, adapting it to your tastes.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use canned plums?
Answer: While fresh plums provide the best flavor, you can use canned plums. Make sure to drain them well to avoid making the tart too wet.

2. How can I store the tart?
Answer: The tart can be stored in the fridge, covered, for 2-3 days. Reheat it slightly before serving to restore its crisp texture.

3. Can the tart be frozen?
Answer: Yes, the tart can be frozen. I recommend slicing it and wrapping it well in plastic wrap or in airtight containers.
