Ingredients

• 6 pieces ripe plums
• 50 grams unsalted butter
• 60 grams granulated sugar
• 60 grams ground almonds
• 1 piece egg white
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 40 grams shredded coconut
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon icing sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and grease a baking dish large enough to hold all the plum halves in a single layer.

Step 2

Wash and halve the plums, removing the pits. Place the plum halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, ground almonds, shredded coconut, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the mixture is crumbly.

Step 5

Add the egg white to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated. The topping should be thick but spreadable.

Step 6

Spoon the macaroon topping evenly over the cut side of each plum half, gently pressing to adhere.

Step 7

Drizzle the plums with honey for added sweetness and to encourage caramelization during baking.

Step 8

Bake the plums in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the plums are tender and bubbling.

Step 9

Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Dust with icing sugar for an elegant touch, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm as is or with a dollop of whipped cream, Greek yogurt, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
