Ingredients

• 8-10 purple plums
• 1/4 cup of sugar
• 2 pods of cardamom
• 1 1/2 cups of your favorite vanilla pudding or custard.
• 2 cups of cubed yellow cake. (I used leftover cake I had in the freezer. You can use store bought loaf cake.)
• 1 cup of whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 1/4 cup of crushed pistachios
• 8 whole pistachios, peeled
• 2 tablespoons of pomegranate seeds

Instructions

1. Cut plums into quarters and add to small saucepan. Add sugar, cardamom pods and a splash of water. Bring to a boil, then turn down heat and let simmer until plums are soft and break apart. Take off heat, let cool and remove cardamom pods.
2. Fill 8 glasses with 1/4 cup of vanilla custard/pudding. Top each one with a couple of cubes of cake, distributing nicely so cake pieces are seen around the glass.
3. Once plums are cooled, spoon 2-3 tablespoons of plums on top of pudding and cake.
4. Sprinkle each glass with 2 teaspoons of crushed pistachios.
5. Whip your cream with the sugar. You can do this with a mixer, but whipping by hand will give you nicer whipped cream.
6. Gently top each glass with whipped cream.
7. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and one pistachio nut.
8. Serve immediately!
