INSTRUCTIONS

Tarte Tatin

On a lightly floured work surface with a rolling pin, roll out the puff pastry to form a circle slightly larger than a Tarte Tatin Dish. Refrigerate the circle of puff pastry for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200°C).

In the Tatin Dish over medium-high heat, melt the butter and brown sugar. Cook, stirring, until the sugar is melted and starting to caramelize, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the orange juice, vanilla and spices. Add the plums and toss gently to coat in the caramel. Neatly arrange the plums, cut-side down, in the caramel.

Lay the chilled puff pastry circle over the plums, tucking the edges of the dough down the sides of the pan. Bake for 35 minutes or until the pastry is golden. Remove the tarte from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes.

Orange Whipped Cream

In a large bowl, whisk the 35% cream and icing sugar until stiff peaks form. Whisk in the yogurt and orange zest. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Place a Minimalist Dinner Plate over the Tatin Dish and carefully flip the tarte over onto the plate. Slice the tarte into wedges and serve with the orange whipped cream and fresh herbs.
