French Plum Tart

French Plum Tart

1 pastry shell
Firm, ripe plums
refrigerated butter cooking spray
Custard:
1 large egg
1/3 cup Splenda
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup evaporated skim milk
1 tablespoon cognac OR
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons grated orange zest

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 7-inch tart pan with the pastry. Cover with a sheet of aluminum foil and press down into the crevice. Fill the aluminum cover with beans, rice, or pie weights. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set on a wire rack to cool. Remove foil and beans or rice or pie weights. Discard foil, and beans or rice if used. Meanwhile, cut plums in half and discard the pit. Arrange the plums, cut side down on the partially baked tart shell. Lightly spritz the plums with butter spray and bake for 15 minutes, until plums begin to soften. While tart is baking, whisk the egg and Splenda until egg is thick and yellow colored. Whisk in flour, then evaporated milk and cognac or vanilla. Spoon the custard mixture around the bottom of the plums. Combine the sugar and orange zest. Sprinkle over the plums. Return the tart to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the custard is puffed and golden. Let cool before serving.
