Notes
Try my vegan version with crumble. The crumbles are completely oil-free and have a light consistency. The soy curd makes the crumble loose and soft.


Tips
If you don’t have soy curd, you can make it yourself by draining a soy yogurt overnight in a tight-mesh strainer. Softer plums are juicier.
