Ingredients
Red Wine Roasted Plums
- 4 medium black plums
- 1 cup (240 ml) dry red wine
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 whole star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 whole cloves
Mascarpone Whipped Cream
- 4 ounces (110 grams) mascarpone
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cups (180 ml) heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Cut the plums in half and remove the pits.
- Place the plums in a baking dish in a single layer (cut-side up).
- Pour the wine over the plums and sprinkle with brown sugar. Add the spices to the dish.
- Bake the plums for 20 minutes or until tender. Remove the plums from the oven once halfway through and spoon the wine over the plums.
- While the plums are baking make the mascarpone whipped cream. Beat the mascarpone, sugar and vanilla extract together until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the cream into the mascarpone mixture and store in the refrigerator.
