Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 pound of plums
- 16 ounces heavy or whipping cream
- maple syrup, to taste
- ginger snaps or other cookies, for topping
Instructions
- Slice the plums and remove the pits. Chop into small pieces. Add them to a small pan with a splash of maple syrup. Cook until the fruit is soft and the liquid is syrupy, about 10 minutes over medium-low heat. Let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, using a mixer, whip the cream with a splash of maple syrup until stiff peaks form. Taste and add more maple, if needed.
- When the fruit has cooled, layer the fruit and whipped cream in glasses and top with a cookie. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to eat.
Notes
In a hurry or don't care about the presentation so much? Fold the fruit and whipped cream together before dividing into serving dishes.
Be sure to cool down the fruit completely before assembling. Hot or warm fruit will cause the whipped cream to melt. To speed up the cooling process, pop the fruit in the fridge or freezer.
