This Earl Grey and Dried Plum Chocolate Tart is a decadent dessert that combines the flavors of rich chocolate, fragrant Earl Grey tea, and sweet dried plums in a buttery pastry crust. If you are a fan of Earl Grey tea, this tart is for you. 

It’s surprisingly easy to make as only the tart crust requires baking. This tart has a generous amount of soaked plums, a spicy chocolate ganache, and an infused Earl Grey cream filling. The result is a luxurious and sophisticated dessert that is perfect for impressing guests or indulging in a special treat.

How to make this Earl Grey and Dried Plum Chocolate Tart

I really recommend making the infused dried plums and tart pastry a day or two before, the longer they sit in the fridge, the better they will taste.

Prepare the tart pastry dough

For the pastry dough beat up the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add in the egg and egg yolk, one at a time. Then add all the dry ingredients and mix until all comes together. Wrap it in cling film and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours. After you take your tart pastry out of the fridge, give it a knead to warm it a little bit. Roll the pastry between the sheets of parchment paper because this is an extra buttery dough and very easily sticks to the work surface. Roll the dough until ¼ inch (6 mm) thick. Press the dough onto the bottom and edges of a 7-inch (18cm) tart pan. Put it in the fridge for 15 minutes, then cover it with parchment paper and baking beans and blind bake at 350F (180C) for 20 minutes. Let it cool completely.

Prepare the infused Earl Grey dried plums

For the infused dried plums make a really strong Earl Grey tea, then pour it over the dried plums and nutmeg powder. Let it cool at room temperature, then put it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Depending on how intense you want the flavour to be, the dried plums can be left to infuse overnight in the fridge.

Prepare the cinnamon milk chocolate ganache

For the chocolate ganache, you need to warm the whipping cream along with the cinnamon, let it infuse for 5 minutes, then pour over the milk chocolate and butter. Stir well until it becomes shiny. Cover it with cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. After is all set, lightly beat it with a hand mixer on low speed. The ganache will harden quickly so make sure to stop beating immediately once it reached a pipeable consistency.

Prepare the Earl Grey Greek yogurt filling

The Earl Grey filling is best to make right before the assembly. Soak the gelatin in cold water. Heat the whipping cream with the tea, sugar, and vanilla. After the sugar is completely melted, add in the gelatin and the greek yogurt and stir well. Fold in the remaining lightly whipped cream. It will have a runny consistency.

Assemble the Earl Grey and Dried Plum Chocolate Tart

Use a spatula to spread evenly three-quarters of the whipped ganache over the bottom of the tart. Take the soaked plums and place them all over the ganache. You should remain with a few of them, and use them for decoration later on. Gently, pour the Earl Grey filling in a uniform layer. Place the tart in the fridge to set before serving. For decoration, use the leftover ganache, the soaked plums, and sprinkles.

Instructions

Prepare the Earl Grey dried plums.

  • You can make this 1-2 days ahead. In a bowl, pour the boiling water over the tea bags and nutmeg. Cover the bowl with a plate and allow to infuse for 10 minutes.
  • Strain the tea and add the dried plums, let them sit until the tea is cold, then place it in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight.

  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the egg and egg yolk, one at the time, mix well after each one.
  • Add the flour and salt and mix on medium speed until the dough comes together.
  • Put it in a plastic film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Potato Fresh Plum Dumplings are a beloved comfort food cherished across various European countries. This delightful dish features a potato dough enveloping fresh plums, shaped into balls, and boiled until the plums turn tender. Once cooked, the dumplings are lovingly coated with a sweetened mixture of cinnamon-infused, toasted breadcrumbs, adding an extra layer of flavor and texture.

This dish is truly delicious and ideal for plum season, but its appeal extends far beyond that. Whether you opt for dried plums or indulge in the sugar-free richness of Powidl plum jam filling, these plum dumplings are a delightful treat that can be enjoyed all year round.

Potato Fresh Plum Dumplings can be served as dessert or simply as a sweet main dish as they are very rich and satisfying.

How to make potato fresh plum dumplings

Start by boiling the potatoes with their skins on until they’re tender. Allow them to cool a bit before peeling them.

In the meantime, prepare the breadcrumb coating. Melt the butter in a medium frying pan, then add the breadcrumbs and mix them well. Cook over low to medium heat until they turn golden brown, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Once done, remove from heat and let them cool. When they’ve cooled down, stir in the sugar and cinnamon.

How to make the potato dough

Place the peeled potatoes in a large bowl and mash them using a potato masher or grate them. Add salt, egg, melted butter, and flour to the mashed potatoes and mix everything together until you get a smooth, slightly sticky dough.

How to shape plum dumplings

Carefully split each plum open just enough to remove the pit, and set them aside for later.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. On a floured surface, take a spoonful of the potato dough, flatten it slightly, place a plum in the center, and wrap the dough around it, forming it into a ball.

Drop 4 or 5 dumplings at a time into the hot water. Let them cook until they rise to the surface, then boil for an additional 5 minutes. Use a perforated spoon to remove the dumplings from the water, then roll them in the breadcrumb mixture.

Serve the dumplings warm or cold.

This winter we spent a great time in an Austrian ski resort. We tried Austrian Germknödel for the first time and we simply loved it.

Austrian Germknödel is a large yeast dough dumpling, slightly sweet, filled with a thick plum jam called Powidl, steamed and served hot with a vanilla sauce and a mixture of ground poppy seeds and powdered sugar on top. Traditionally Germknodel is served with melted butter but I really enjoyed the vanilla sauce version and this is the recipe I will share with you. Germknödel can be served either as dessert or as a main dish and it is one of the best dishes to serve in a cold winter day.

Austrian Germknödel - section

Powidl is a thick plum jam that is made with no sugar, only very ripe plums are used, that are cooked for several hours up to a day until it becomes a thick dark plum puree, slightly tart and tastes similar to dry plums.  This jam is mixed with a bit of rum and then used to fill the yeast dough to create these delicious dumplings. If Powidl is hard to find in your region you can still try the recipe with different jams, will still be very delicious.

How to make dry plum potato dumplings

To make these delightful plum-filled potato dumplings, start by boiling the potatoes with their skins on until they are soft. Once they are cooked, peel them and mash them thoroughly, or grate them if you prefer a finer texture. Allow the mashed potatoes to cool completely.

While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the breadcrumb coating. In a medium frying pan, mix breadcrumbs with oil and cook over low-medium heat until the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Stir constantly to prevent burning. Once the breadcrumbs are ready, remove them from the heat and set them aside to cool. When the breadcrumbs are cool enough, stir in sugar, a pinch of salt and cinnamon to taste.

In a large bowl, combine the cooled mashed potatoes with an egg, butter, and flour. Mix until the ingredients bind together, forming a smooth and slightly sticky dough. Knead the dough briefly to ensure it is well combined.

How to cook the potato dumplings

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Take a walnut-sized portion of the potato dough and flatten it slightly. Place one dried plum in the center and carefully wrap the dough around it, forming a small ball. Repeat this process until all the dough and plums are used.

Gently place the dumplings into the simmering water. Let them cook until they float to the surface, then continue to simmer for an additional 2 minutes to ensure they are cooked through. Using a slotted spoon, remove the dumplings from the water and roll them in the prepared breadcrumb mixture until they are well coated.

Serve the dumplings hot or cold, sprinkled with any remaining breadcrumb mixture or additional sugar if desired. Enjoy these delicious plum-filled potato dumplings as a sweet treat or a comforting dessert.
