Pour over the fruit, and then bake for 30 minutes. Remove the plums and set aside. Heat the juices in a pan until syrupy, about 3 minutes. Allow to cool.
In a bowl, combine the mascarpone, caster sugar and crème fraîche. Spoon into the pastry case. Arrange the plums on the mascarpone, drizzle over the syrup.
