On average, 40 minutes is enough to bake a charlotte. However, this time can vary, as each cook prepares this pie differently. Some bake it at higher temperatures, some use narrow but tall pans, while others use wide and flat ones. Because of this, the final cooking time will vary.

That's why it's important to know how to check if your pie is done. And it's very, very easy. All you need is a toothpick or a wooden skewer. Pierce the pie with it and see if it comes out dry or with bits of raw dough. If the skewer comes out clean, the charlotte is fully baked and ready to eat.

Advice

In this recipe, I used plums with the skins on. However, not everyone likes the taste of the skins in the finished pie. Therefore, you can easily remove the skins. To do this, take the plums and plunge them into hot water for 3 minutes. Then, remove them and plunge them into cold water for the same amount of time. Done! The skins will now easily peel away from the plums.

If you're still unsure whether you'll like the taste of this dessert, just make it once. I guarantee it'll become a regular in your kitchen!
