Place one tablespoon of rice into four glasses, top with some mango slices. Next layer 2 tablespoons of rice and some melon slices. Again layer 2 tablespoons of rice and some strawberry slices. Repeat layers until all fruit slices are used and rice becomes top layer. Sprinkle with diced fruit.
Halve vanilla bean and scrape out seeds. Melt butter in a pot. Cut vanilla bean into four pieces and add to butter. Caramelize powdered sugar in a saucepan until light yellow, remove from heat and add butter with vanilla, mix well. Drizzle vanilla butter over rice desserts and garnish each glass with vanilla piece. Cut basil into thin strips and sprinkle on desserts. Serve.
