Scale
- 1 pound of plums
- 16 ounces heavy or whipping cream
- maple syrup, to taste

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.
