Super easy

Ingredients for the cocoa mince base:

• 225 gr flour
• 50 gr cocoa powder
• a pinch of salt
• 150 gr butter 
• 150 gr sugar
• 2 egg yolks 
• custard
• 8 yellow plums 

Method: preheat the oven at 180º C. In a bowl, put all the dry ingredients together: the flour, the sugar, the pinch of salt and the cocoa powder. Mix them very well. Then, incorporate the butter but it must be soft in advance. Now, mix the butter with the other ingredients making a sandy dough. After this step, make a hole in the middle and put the beaten yolks. The result: a soft dough that must rest in the fridge for an hour. 

After this hour, cut the dough into two parts. Pour some flour in the worktable or over the rolling pin and knead the doughs a little bit. Distribute the doughs all over the moulds that have been previously basted. You can do it  in two 20 cm diameter moulds or  in a 25 cm diameter mould. Distrubute very well the dough all over the moulds. 

Now, put some baking paper on the doughs and put some legumes over it in order to prevent that the doughs don't reach volume once in the oven. Bake them for 10 minutes. Remove the doughs from the oven and let them get cooler. Then, fill the doughs with custard. 

Wash the plums and peel them. Cuth them into wedges and put them all over the custard. Now, you are ready to enjoy!
