40 minutes

Plum gratin is an exquisite dessert of French cuisine that combines the tenderness of baked fruits with a rich creamy flavor. This recipe is inspired by the traditions of tarte Tatin, where the fruits are caramelized before baking. Cooked plums reveal their natural sweetness and softness, while the creamy cheese mixture with added cognac gives the dish richness and a refined aroma. The gratin is perfect as a warm dessert and can be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. It is suitable for festive gatherings or cozy family dinners, providing true gastronomic pleasure with every bite.
