Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Plums
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Granola
- 6 whole Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the plums, cut them in half, and remove the pits.
Place the plum halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cut side up.
Sprinkle the plums with brown sugar and drizzle honey over them.
Roast the plums in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the plums from the oven and let them cool completely.
While the plums cool, make the mascarpone whipped cream: In a large mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overmix, as the cream can curdle.
To assemble the parfaits, layer granola, roasted plums, and mascarpone whipped cream in serving glasses. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, finishing with a dollop of cream on top.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
