Today, we’re finally making something with plums again. It was about time. I’ve completely overlooked these little guys so far this year. But today, that changes: these delicious Mirabelle Plum Tartlets with Streusel Topping are sure to become your next »favorite recipe« here on the blog. We love these little treats. They’re quick to make and absolutely delicious!

If you’ve Googled »mirabelle plum tartlets«, you might have spotted these little tarts on another blog as well. That’s no mistake. It’s entirely intentional. I had the honor of being the first guest after the relaunch of my friend Antonella’s blog (www.antonellasbackblog.de) with these tasty little tartlets. You could call it a »housewarming« gift of sorts.

It’s the kind of thing people love to do, right? Someone moves and you drop by, check out the new place and, of course, bring something as a gift. In my case… these little Mirabelle Plum Tartlets. They make a fantastic gift to bring when visiting someone. Much better than a whole cake that won’t fit in a box. Right?!

If you aren’t familiar with mirabelle plums yet, you really have to give them a try. These »little sisters« of the good old plums are grown mainly in the south of Germany and France. We had them all the time when I was a kid. They are great for making jam, cakes, and much more.

Unfortunately, the season always flies by far too quickly. Those few weeks are hardly enough time to properly celebrate these little fruits and use them in as many recipes as possible. So, if you’ve stumbled upon this recipe out of season, be sure to save it for next year and give these little tartlets a try then!

If you want to try the recipe right away but don’t have mirabelle plums on hand, you can simply use Damson plums (Zwetschgen) instead. The result will taste a bit different, of course, but it’s no less good. We also like using it for the mini tartlets…

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

  • English
  • Deutsch

1. For the dough for the base add the flour and confectioners’ sugar to a mixing bowl and mix to combine. Add the butter in small pieces as well as the egg yolk. Both should be straight from the fridge so they are cold. Add the salt and a bit of lemon zest to the bowl and mix/knead until you get a nice smooth dough. Shape it into a flat disc, wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

2. Slightly grease five 12cm tartlet tins*. Take the dough out of the fridge and cut it into five equal pieces. Roll out each piece into a circle slightly bigger than your tartlet tins. Place the dough circles inside the tins and press them to the bottom and sides. Cut off overlapping dough and prick the dough several times with a fork. Place the tins in the fridge until needed again.

3. Wash and dry the mirabelle plums, cut them in half and remove the pits. Take the tartlet tins out of the fridge and place the mirabelle plums in circles inside the tartlet tins. Ideally you cover the base completely. Place them again in the fridge.

4. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). For the streusels mix the flour, ground almonds, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract and mix with a fork until you get different-sized streusels. Sprinkle the tartlets with the streusels and bake them for about 32-35 minutes until golden brown. Maybe place some baking parchment under the tins because the fluids of the plums probably spill out a bit. Take the tartlets out of the oven and let them cool down completely on a wire rack. Dust with confectioners’ sugar and/or serve with some whipped cream.

1. Für den Boden das Mehl mit dem Puderzucker in einer Schüssel vermischen. Die Butter in kleinen Stücken und das Eigelb zugeben – beides sollte direkt aus dem Kühlschrank kommen, damit es schön kalt ist. Die Prise Salz und etwas Zitronenschalenabrieb zur Schüssel dazugeben und alles zu einem glatten Teig verkneten. Den Teig dann zu einer flachen Scheibe zusammenpressen, in Klarsichtfolie einwickeln und für mindestens 30 Minuten in den Kühlschrank legen.

2. Fünf Tartletteformen* mit etwa 12cm Durchmesser leicht einfetten. Den Teig aus dem Kühlschrank nehmen und in fünf gleiche Stücke teilen. Jedes Teigstück zu einem Kreis ausrollen, der ein wenig größer als die Tarteletteform ist. Den Teig dann in die Formen legen und am Boden und den Seiten festdrücken. Überstehenden Teig abschneiden und die Böden dann mit einer Gabel mehrmals einstechen. Bis zur weiteren Verwendung in den Kühlschrank stellen.

3. Die Mirabellen waschen, abtrocknen, halbieren und die Steine entfernen. Die Förmchen mit dem Teig aus dem Kühlschrank nehmen und die Mirabellenhälften in Kreisen in die Förmchen legen, sodass am Ende keinen Boden zu sehen ist. Wieder in den Kühlschrank stellen.

4. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Das Mehl für die Streusel mit den gemahlenen Mandeln, Zucker und Salz vermischen. Die geschmolzene Butter und den Vanille Extrakt zugeben und alles mit einer Gabel vermischen, bis unterschiedlich große Streusel entstehen. Diese Streusel auf die Tartelettes streuen und dann alles im vorgeheizten Ofen für etwa 32-35 Minuten backen, bis die Streusel goldbraun sind. Evtl. ein Backpapier unterlegen, weil die Mirabellen recht viel Flüssigkeit abgeben, die überlaufen kann. Die fertigen Tartelettes aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen. Mit Puderzucker bestäuben und ggf. mit etwas Schlagsahne servieren.
