Spiced Plum Crisp With Vanilla Cream
From the Blog Author
Ingredients
- 600 grams ripe plums
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 gram ground cinnamon
- 1 gram ground ginger
- 1 gram salt
- 100 grams old-fashioned rolled oats
- 75 grams all-purpose flour
- 75 grams light brown sugar
- 75 grams unsalted butter
- 250 milliliters heavy cream
- 20 grams powdered sugar
- 5 milliliters vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 23x23 cm (9x9 inch) baking dish.
In a bowl, combine sliced plums, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt; spread evenly in the prepared dish.
In a separate bowl, mix oats, flour, and brown sugar; cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the plums.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the topping is golden and the plums are bubbly.
While the crisp bakes, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Serve the warm plum crisp with a generous dollop of vanilla cream.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I store leftover Spiced Plum Crisp?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For the best texture, reheat briefly in the oven before serving to re-crisp the topping.
Can I substitute the plums with a different fruit?
Yes, you can substitute the plums with firm fruits like apples, pears, or berries. Adjust the baking time slightly if using softer fruit, as they may cook faster.
What is the best way to prevent the vanilla cream from breaking when whipped?
Ensure your heavy cream is very cold and use a chilled bowl and whisk attachments. Whip slowly at first until soft peaks form, then increase speed until stiff peaks are achieved.
