Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter, chilled, cut into small cubes, plus more for bowls

3 firm, ripe nectarines, halved lengthwise and pitted

24 small plums, halved lengthwise and pitted, preferably Italian

2 tablespoons Vanilla Sugar

Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Crisp Puff Pastry Tops

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Generously butter six 3 1/2-cup ovenproof bowls. Place one nectarine half, cut side down, in the center of each bowl. Arrange 8 plum halves, cut sides facing up, around each nectarine half. Sprinkle each bowl with 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar. Dot fruit with butter.

Place bowls on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake until fruit is juicy and softened, about 30 minutes. Transfer bowl to a wire rack to cool.

To serve, place a large scoop of ice cream in each bowl. Top each with a crisp puff pastry top. Serve immediately.
