Method
-
Step 1
Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Put the plum halves cut-side up into a deep baking tray, large enough so that they are in a single layer. Pour over the marsala, sprinkle over the sugar and add the star anise and cinnamon stick to the marsala.
-
Step 2
Cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the plums are tender and juicy, and the sauce has reduced and is slightly syrupy. Remove from the oven and leave to stand for 10 minutes.
-
Step 3
Meanwhile, add the icing sugar and vanilla bean paste to the cream and use electric beaters to whip until very soft peaks.
-
Step 4
Pile the plums onto serving plates with plenty of the syrup, then spoon over the chantilly cream.
