Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces ripe plums
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 60 grams granulated sugar
- 60 grams ground almonds
- 1 piece egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 40 grams shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon icing sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and grease a baking dish large enough to hold all the plum halves in a single layer.
Wash and halve the plums, removing the pits. Place the plum halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, ground almonds, shredded coconut, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the mixture is crumbly.
Add the egg white to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated. The topping should be thick but spreadable.
Spoon the macaroon topping evenly over the cut side of each plum half, gently pressing to adhere.
Drizzle the plums with honey for added sweetness and to encourage caramelization during baking.
Bake the plums in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the plums are tender and bubbling.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Dust with icing sugar for an elegant touch, if desired.
Serve warm as is or with a dollop of whipped cream, Greek yogurt, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
