Camembert and Spiced Plum Pie

4 servings

60 minutes

Camembert and spiced plum pie is a refined dessert inspired by the sophistication of French cuisine. Camembert, famous for its soft, creamy flavor, pairs perfectly with caramelized plums infused with cardamom, thyme, and cinnamon. The light, crumbly pastry made with butter serves as a delicate base for this harmonious duet. This pie may be inspired by the tradition of French tarts that combine fruits and cheese in a single flavor ensemble. It delights with a richness of textures—from the crispy base to the melt-in-your-mouth cheese and juicy fruit filling. Perfect for cozy evenings with a glass of red wine or as an elegant finish to a festive dinner.
