Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) with upper and lower heat. Butter six to eight small tart pans about 8 cm in diameter. Divide dough into quarters, roll each slightly larger than the pans on a floured surface and line the pans. Distribute plums in the pans and pour over the cream mixture. Bake in preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, sprinkling sesame seeds during the last 5–10 minutes.
