Grilled plums with meringues and orange cream

  • 1/4 cup (55g) raw sugar
  • 400毫升浓奶油

    Meanwhile, combine the cream, icing sugar, rind and juice in a medium bowl.
  • 4
    To assemble, layer the crushed meringue, orange cream, plums and plum syrup on a serving platter or in individual glasses.

Notes

Adding water to the oven tray before grilling the plums acts as a base for the plum syrup - the colour from the plum skin combined with the excess sugar makes a syrup that can be drizzled over the plums.
