This plum pudding is easy to make and even quicker to eat. Slightly sweet, a little tart, and altogether very moreish, the mix of the nutty almond flour and the sour plums is a perfect match. Heavenly even, if you add a dollop or two of double thick cream. But the hardest part – and absolutely essential if you want to enjoy this pudding at the right texture – is to let it cool for a bit to gather some firmness after coming out the oven.
Plum and Almond Pudding
Servings: 8 Time: 1 hour Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
- 100g ground almonds
- 100g sugar
- 100g melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 6 fresh plums
Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 180 Celsius
- Grease a 23cm baking dish
- Combine almonds, sugar, melted butter and eggs and mix well to form a smooth batter
- Halve fruit, remove stones and slice thickly
- Arrange fruit on the base of the baking dish and pour over the batter
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, until a skewer inserted comes out clean

Absolutely scrumptious, if you can bear to let it cool for a bit to gather some firmness after coming out the oven.
Almond flour isn’t just delicious, it’s also healthy, nutritious and gluten free.
With gratitude to Justine Drake for this very secret recipe.
