Celebrate the Summer Season with the best in tasty desserts!
RECIPE: Cherry & Star Anise Fruit Rice Pudding https://www.simplyfruit.ca/single-post/cherry-star-anise
This flavor had a very loyal following at the Farmers' Markets. These 2 ingredients blend beautifully to create a very unique taste that has a candi-ness quality to it. I usually use sweet pitted cherries for this recipe over sour cherries, which actually are my favorite. The only part of this recipe to be mindful of is that the star anise is added at the beginning, it's removed while blending the cherries and then added back in with the coconut milk. They can even be left in the pudding while it cools completely and removed after that.
There are only 5 ingredients in this recipe, so give it a try! You can easily jazz this fruit rice pudding up by adding orange liquor or serving it over an orange sorbet. It would also be great served in dried baked meringue shells with a whipped coconut milk or whipped cream over top. Too many variations are possible. Have fun with it!
