I haven't cooked with pluots but I find baked goods with plums need a lot of sugar - I think it is something about baking the skins that makes them bitter.

Simona Carini

Thank you so much for your note, Alicia!
It's possible that the skin of the pluots I used was tarter than that of the plums. I know that the latter was mild-flavored.
Later on in the season, I will be able to find a variety of plums that is very sweet and will certainly try to make another tart.

It looks delicious! I love that you added the ice cream, too! :-D

Heather @girlichef

That's it! I cannot see another one of these gorgeous plum tarts - they look so amazing. I love that the base is yeasted, as well. Definitely on my short-list! thank you for joining me as I host this leg of our journey in Luxembourg, Simona :)

questa crostata lievitata mi incuriosisce parecchio…….devo rimanere in attesa per poterla provare. soffro di astinenza da cucina ^____^

Love your "fix" for a less than satisfying tart experiment!

Eccolo il post conclusivo della nostra tappa lussemburghese: http://abcincucina.blogspot.com.es/2013/06/h-come-hong-am-reisleck.html.
Grazie per aver partecipato, senza di te questa tappa non sarebbe stata la stessa! Pronta per l'Irlanda? :-)

Ciaooo,
Aiu'

Simona Carini

Thank you, Paz!

Ciao Heather. I know, it looks like this tart was popular. I am looking forward to seeing your version. The yeasted dough is interesting: I can see myself using it other fruit.

Soffrirei anch'io, Martissima. Spero che l'attesa non duri molto. La pasta frolla col lievito non mi piace, ma la pasta di questa crostata e' piu' morbida e certamente interessante.

Ciao Debra. I could not bring myself to discard the whole thing. This recycling exercise was quite successful.

Pronta per l'Irlanda, Aiu'. Ho quasi scelto la ricetta.

Adding the sugar on top is a good save. Plums are not in season here yet, but can'y wait to give it a try.

Simona Carini

Ciao Val. It makes the tart pretty and it tones down the plum skin's zing. I hope you'll give it a try when plum season arrives there.

Frank @Memorie di Angelina

I think I would really like this. Like you I was born without a sweet tooth, but I do love my fruit tarts/crostate/torte.

Simona Carini

Ciao Frank. This is really nice as a light dessert. I will try making it again with other types of fruit (I am thinking figs right now).
