Welcome back to Mini Chef Mondays! This week Carter and I headed over to a new friend’s house to learn a Swiss dessert recipe! Almost every step is kid friendly with just a little bit of parent assistance, depending on the age of your kid. This is a very easy fruit pie with a custard like filling. We used plums, but you can also use apricots, apples or cherries so it’s very easy to customize!
Plum Pie:
You will need:
- 1 pie crust- homemade or store bought
- 3 tablespoons ground hazelnuts, or other similar course flour such as almond, coconut or even cornmeal. (to soak up the fruit juices)
- 850g frozen plums (about 4 cups) or other fruit of choice.
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup cream
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons sugar, plus extra for dusting if desired.
Parents job: preheat over to 425 degrees. Measure ingredients.
What to do:
1. Spread pie crust out over a large pie pan.
2. Use a fork to poke some holes around the bottom of the crust.
3. Sprinkle the course flour evenly over the crust.
4. Add the fruit, filling up the pan.
Make silly faces when mom tries to get a decent photo of the pie!
5. Mix together the milk, cream, egg and sugar. Be sure to mix briskly so all the sugar doesn’t sink to the bottom!
6. Pour the milk mixture over the fruit all around the pan.
7. Bake in preheated oven about 45 minutes or until custard is set. Optional: sprinkle sugar over the finished pie. I would recommend this step, as the custard is not super sweet.
Slice and enjoy!
Have you ever made a pie similar to this? What fruit would you use? I’m going to try it with cherries next time!

November 26, 2015 at 1:14 amOk this reminds me of a plum pie my mom used to make when I was a kid! Honestly I think she just used whatever fruit was in season and was cheap 😉

November 26, 2015 at 2:09 amI have NEVER heard of this before and it looks pretty neat. Cannon is CRAZY about using the whisk now for his eggs, he has to whisk them up!

November 27, 2015 at 12:26 amI can honestly say I have never had a pie like this before! But, it looks delicious. I love blueberry pie, and my mom makes a delicious one 🙂 I think I will have to try this though! I think I can still find fresh plums around here.
