Ingredients
  

Baked plums

  • 8 plums large
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 50 g sugar
  • ½ lemon zest

Oatmeal crunch

  • 25 g butter
  • 25 g sugar
  • 50 g almonds
  • 50 g oatmeal

Vanilla cream

  • ½ vanilla bean seeds
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 25 g sugar
  • 1 dl whipping cream

Instructions
 

Baked plums

  • Turn on the oven to 200 degrees celcius.
  • Cut the plums in half and remove the stone. Place the plums in an ovenproof dish with the cutting surface facing up.
    8 plums
  • Scrape the seeds out of the vanilla bean and finely grate the lemon zest. Mix the vanilla, lemon zest, and sugar together and spread it over the plums. Feel free to also put the empty vanilla pod in the dish, it gives a good flavor to the syrup at the bottom of the dish.
    1 vanilla bean, ½ lemon, 50 g sugar
  • Put the dish with the plums in the oven and bake them for about 20 minutes until they are tender.
  • Take the dish out of the oven and let the plums cool completely before using them in the trifle.

Oatmeal crunch

  • Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
    25 g butter
  • Finely chop the almonds. Add oatmeal, chopped almonds, and sugar to the pan with butter and toast until golden. Stir as you go, and keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.
    50 g almonds, 50 g oatmeal, 25 g sugar
  • After about 10 minutes, when the oatmeal and almonds are golden, spread it on a piece of baking paper and let it cool down.

Vanilla cream

  • Beat the egg yolks, vanilla, and sugar into an fluffy eggnog.
    ½ vanilla bean, 2 egg yolks, 25 g sugar
  • Whip the cream to a light foam.
    1 dl whipping cream
  • Fold the whipped cream and the eggnog together without beating the air out of the cream. I carefully turn the cream around with a silicone spatula.

Serving

  • Cut the plums into bite-sized pieces and arrange the trifle in layers. First a layer of plums, then a layer of oatmeal crunch, and then vanilla cream. You can repeat and make several layers depending on how big glasses you use.
  • Serve the trifle immediately or refrigerate until serving.
