Flourless Plum Mini Cakes – VIDEO RECIPE

how to cook Flourless Plum Mini Cakes?

STEP 1

To start, preheat your oven to 160°C (320⁰F). Grab a medium bowl and add some room temperature egg whites. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and beat them with a mixer until they become nice and fluffy.

TIPS: Remember to take the eggs out of the refrigerator in advance so that the egg whites can reach room temperature. Cold egg whites don’t whip well.

STEP 2

In a separate large bowl, combine the egg yolks and sugar. Beat them together until they become thick and pale in color.

STEP 3

Now it’s time to add some flavor! Stir in half of the ground nuts and some lemon zest into the egg mixture. Give it a good mix.

TIPS: Feel free to choose your favorite nuts or peanuts, ensuring they are finely ground. You can grind the nuts in a coffee grinder or kitchen chopper. Alternatively, nut flour like almond flour can be used as a substitute for ground nuts.

TIPS: Want to make the lemon flavor in this dessert even better? Just grind some sugar with freshly grated lemon zest. Trust me, it’s a game-changer!

STEP 4

Next, carefully fold in the beaten egg whites. Once they’re incorporated, add the remaining ground nuts and gently mix everything together.

STEP 5

Grab a silicone 6-pieces muffin pan and grease it up so nothing sticks. Fill each section with the dough you just made.

STEP 6

Pop the pan into the preheated to 160°C (320⁰F) oven and let it bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the crusts turn a beautiful golden brown.

STEP 7

Once they’re done, leave the crusts in the pan until they cool completely. Then, remove them from the pan.

STEP 8

While the crusts are cooling, wash some plums and cut them in half. Remove the pits.

TIPS: If you don’t have fresh plums on hand, frozen ones can be a great substitute.

STEP 9

Grease a baking tray with some oil and place the plum halves, cut side up, on the tray. Drizzle some lemon juice over the plums and sprinkle them with sugar.

STEP 10

Now, it’s time to bake the plums! Put the tray in the oven, which should still be preheated to 180°C (350⁰F), and let them bake for about 12-15 minutes. Once they’re done, let them cool.

STEP 11

In a medium bowl, mix together some softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until it’s nice and smooth.

STEP 12

Once the crusts have cooled, spread the cream filling on top of each one. Then, garnish them with the baked plum halves and drizzle some of the baked plum syrup over the top.

STEP 13

Now, you’re ready to serve your delicious Flourless Plum Mini Cakes for tea. Bon appetit!
