Profile Information

Overview

• Ingredients:
  • 1.75 litres milk

  
  

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
   
  • 1 cinnamon stick
   
  • Finely grated rind of 1 lemon
   
  • 3/4 cup (165g) granulated sugar
   
  • 220g short-grain rice, such as arborio
   
  • 400g mixed fresh or frozen berries
  
  
  Method:
  
  

  1. Place milk, vanilla, cinnamon, lemon rind and sugar in a large saucepan and bring to the boil over medium-high heat, stirring to prevent milk solids from catching on the bottom.

     
     

  2. Stir in rice, then reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 40-50 minutes or until rice is cooked and thickened slightly. The mixture will still be quite wet at this stage.

      

  3. Remove from heat, cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 3 hours or until chilled. To serve, divide rice pudding among bowls then top with berries.

      

  
  

  Take Note: Go with the grain: In Spain, rice pudding (arroz con leche) is traditionally made with calasparra rice, but arborio is a good substitute. Both varieties are naturally dry, which enables them to retain a firm texture, while absorbing large quantities of liquid during cooking.
