Directions
-
Place the plums in a frying pan with 50 grams of sugar and the whole lemon zest. Cook gently until the plums soften, then transfer to a blender or use an electric mixer to blend until smooth but slightly textured. Add 150 grams of sugar and the lemon juice, mixing well to combine.
-
In a small bowl, mix 12 grams of agar-agar with 60 ml of water and let it sit for 5 minutes. Add the agar-agar mixture to the plum mixture along with 100 ml of cream. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Pour the plum mixture into a square container and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until set.
-
In a saucepan, combine 50 grams of sugar with 350 ml of milk and bring to a gentle boil. In a separate bowl, mix 6 grams of agar-agar with 30 ml of water and let sit for a few minutes. Add the agar-agar mixture and 250 ml of cream to the milk mixture, stirring well until combined. Do not let the cream mixture boil after adding agar-agar.
-
Remove the plum layer from the fridge and cut it into neat shapes. Pour a small amount of the milk mixture into a mold, then place the cut plum pieces on top. Pour the remaining milk mixture over the plum pieces to fully cover them. Allow the dessert to cool and set in the refrigerator before serving.
