Transform canned fruit into a dazzling dessert with creativity!
Ingredients:
  • 8 small canned whole plums in natural juice, drained, deseeded (see note)
  • 1 vanilla bean, split
  • 257.50 gm milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 107.50 gm caster sugar
  • 375.00 ml plain flour
  • 70.95 gm caster sugar
  • 125g butter, chilled, chopped
  • 1 egg yolk
Instructions:
  • Create pastry by blending flour, sugar, and butter until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs. Incorporate egg yolk and process until dough forms, adding a tablespoon of cold water if needed. Transfer dough to a floured surface, knead gently until smooth, shape into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Grease a 6cm-deep, 22cm springform pan and line the base with baking paper. Roll out the pastry between two sheets of baking paper until it's 5mm thick. Cut a 29cm round from the pastry and use it to line the pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  • - Set a pan on a baking tray and line the pastry case with baking paper. Fill it with uncooked rice or ceramic pie weights. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges turn light golden. Remove the baking paper and rice or weights, then bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the base is light golden.
  • Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced, then transfer plums to a bowl and gently crush them with a fork. Spread the crushed plums over the pastry base.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, gently infuse vanilla bean with milk until it is just hot without boiling, about 3 minutes.
  • In a heatproof bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar. Remove and discard the vanilla bean from the milk mixture. Slowly pour the milk mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly. Pour the mixture over the plums. Bake for 40 minutes or until the custard is just set. Allow to cool before serving.
