For 4 servings

For the pastry

- 70 g (5 tbsp.) sugar
- 1 egg
- A pinch of salt

For the filling
- 300 g (10 oz.) mirabelle or yellow plums
- 80 g (3 oz.) powdered sugar
- 4 crumbled shortbread cookies

For the olive oil ice cream
- 1 liter (4 cups) milk
- 10 egg yolks
- 250 g (9 oz.) sugar
- 250 g (9 oz.) cream
- 40 g (3 tbsp.) olive oil
- 10 g (2 tsp.) balsamic vinegar
Method
  1. Combine the flour, butter, sugar, salt and egg. 
  2. Let the pastry rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. 
  3. Rinse the mirabelles; dry them, pit them and sprinkle with sugar. 
  4. Roll out the pastry and line 4 individual tart molds that have been buttered and floured.
  5. Sprinkle the pastry with the crumbled cookies and arrange the mirabelles on top. Bake in a preheated 180° C (350° F) oven for 25 minutes. 

Making the olive oil ice cream 

  1. Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. 
  2. Whisk the hot milk into the mixture and transfer to a saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens slightly to form a crème anglaise. Do not overheat or the eggs will curdle.
  3. Cool to lukewarm. Whip the cream and fold it into the crème anglaise; add the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Place in an ice cream maker to freeze.
  4. Serve the tarts with the olive oil ice cream and a few mirabelles.
