Recipe Tips
If you don鈥檛 have any fruit to mash for the top you can simply add a small spoonful of jam instead.
Add dried fruit to the rice pudding before cooking to sweeten the dish naturally. You can replace up to half of the sugar with dried fruits such as finely chopped dates or apricots.
Semi-skimmed milk makes for a lower fat rice pudding, but you can replace with whole milk if you prefer.
If you鈥檙e in a rush you can cook the rice pudding in a saucepan on the hob. Simply bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to low once boiling, cover and leave to cook for 35-40 minutes, stirring now and again.
