Ingredients

  • 1 Puff Pastry thawed
  • 8-10 Ripe Plums or Pluots
  • 2 tablespoons Orange Liqueur
  • 1 teaspoon Orange Zest

For the Mascarpone Layer

  • 8 ounces Mascarpone cheese room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons Brown Sugar

For the Walnut Topping

  • ½ Cup Walnuts
  • 4 tablespoons Brown Sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400'
  • Cut the plums into quarters and add them to a bowl with the orange liqueur and orange zest
  • Fit the Puff Pastry into a tart pan. (I didn't have a tart pan to use where I'm living right now, so I just used some aluminum foil to create a smaller form on a cookie sheet and then folded over the dough about 1/2 inch all the way around and used that for my edges.
  • Prick the dough to allow some steam to escape and bake the crust on the middle rack for 15-20 minutes until golden on the edges. Check every 5 minutes and prick the dough again if it starts to inflate.
  • Remove from the oven and increase the oven temp to 450'
  • In a small bowl, mix the mascarpone with the brown sugar and spread it on top of the crust.
  • Arrange the plums in rows to almost fill the top of the crust. Discard the leftover liquid.
  • Chop the walnuts and mix them with brown sugar and scatter them over the plums and the crust.
  • Bake on the top rack, just to toast the nuts and let the plums bond with the cheese; about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven; let cool and then refrigerate until chilled; serve with vanilla ice cream or whipping cream.
