Lucie's Rice Pudding

Comfort food at its best? Rice pudding, of course. So here is the BEST rice pudding.


(serves 4 people, or five unusually small ones)

You will need:                                                                                                                                          125 ml (1/2 cup) risotto rice, 60 ml (4 T) sugar, 1 vanilla pod, 1 litre (4 cups) cream.

Tip risotto rice & sugar into medium deep saucepan. Add vanilla pod into rice with milk. Bring to boil, stir occasionally at first and more frequently towards the end until rice grains are tender & pudding is thick. Cooking time = approx. 25 min. Amount of milk may be varied. Remove from heat. Stir in cream. (Add vanilla essence now if you didn’t use a pod.) As the pudding cools, stir to prevent skin from forming. Dust a bit of cinnamon over the top.
