The yellow plums are delicious when just taken form the plum tree… It’s very good in a tart or in a crumble (really super super yummy!!).

But if you’re looking for a fresh and delicate dessert, you should go for my candied yellow plum cheesecake!

Hurry!

It is still possible to find yellow plums at your greengrocer. E-N-J-O-Y!!!! You are going to love it!

This dessert is really easy to make (15 minutes tops! I have no idea why I put 30 minutes in the recipe!!), it’s made in advance (you need 2 hours in the fridge before serving) so it’s perfect for a dinner with friends or family when you don’t want to spend all your time in the kitchen, and it is soooo good!!!

You can also make the recipe with other kind of plums. Still, choose a sweet variety.
