I made these for guests a few weeks ago and they were good although I perhaps erred and did not add enough sugar on top - I sort of went by how the picture looked. There wasn't enough sweetness to set off the plums or the ricotta so they ended up as somewhat bland. Next time I try this, I think I'd add rum soaked raisins as someone suggested, and perhaps sugar the fruit before baking in addition to the brown sugar. Anyway, I love the fact that they looked as though I know what I'm doing near an oven. Easy recipe, thanks.

What winter fruit might work with this recipe?

Persimmons! Ripe, but not mushy, Fuyus. Not Hachiyas, because their texture won't be right. Mmmmmm. ;o)

Okay, now you're going to think I've really gone off the deep end, but how about some roasted golden beets? Pick nice small ones, of course. They'd be heavenly. Very unusual, but delicious. ;o)

Ripe perrsimmons would be interesting but make sure they are ripe otherwise they will be to tannic to go with the ricotta. I might just try rum soaked currants or golden raisins and just blend them into the ricotta with extra sugar on top. I would also be game for the raisins mixed in and very thinly sliced kumquats on top or even orange mamelade.

I"m not sure I could tell a ripe persimmon if it hit me in the face! But the booze-soaked currants would be right up the alley for the folks I would be serving this to!

Than you. I am glad to know the ramekins worked. Did you serve them in the ramekins or did you un-mold them

This almost reminds me of a budino (which would have just a touch of flour, if made in the traditional way). Ah, the timeless combination of fruit and cheese. This is so appealing. Love it!! ;o)

I'm wondering if you could make these in a muffin tin? maybe lined with parchment?

What about ramekins? Or as drbabs suggests, muffin tins. Although you'd probably need to butter the tins and if you have non-stick you could use those, but carefully so not to brown the cakes.

I think if you butter and cornmeal nonstick muffin tins it would probably work. If it were me I would do a test first before I committed to filling a twelve muffin pan. The other issue is being able to fan the plums so I would probably look to do whole moons instead of half moons and would just use one or two slices. If your tins aren't nonstick than yes I would go with buttered parchment(on both sides) with a cornmeal dusting,(only on one side).

What kind of plums did you use for these wonderful tartlets? Tart ones like Santa Rosa's or sweeter ones? I'm thinking of making these for a potluck I'm going to tomorrow night - they just look so great!
