"I found this recipe on a card from the local supermarket. It makes for a very pretty and delicious dessert that is so easy to make over summer. Can be served either hot or cold ~ serve with yogurt, cream of ice cream if desired. The star anise adds flavor and decoration to this recipe and should not be eaten."

Step 10

To serve ~ Using 4 individual plate's or a large serving dish ~ divide the same amount of creamed rice into each dish, place 3 plums on top of rice and spoon over some any of the leftover juices. Make sure each dish has 1 plum with the star anise for nice presentation.
