Caramel Rice Pudding

🍰 Desserts

Rice pudding enriched with caramel, the sticky-toffee-adjacent comfort bowl. Silky and spoonable, with a clean, comforting sweetness. Make it a day ahead — it only improves overnight.

Prep 17 min Cook 10 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Heavy Cream1/4 cup
  • Salta pinch
  • Rice3/4 cup
  • Milk1 litre
  • Sugar1/3 cup
  • Vanilla Extract1 tsp
  • Brown Sugar1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set out all ingredients and the serving dishes first; the cooking itself moves quickly.

  2. 2

    Scald the milk with the milk — small bubbles at the edge, never a rolling boil.

  3. 3

    Beat the rice and sugar together, then ease in the warm milk a little at a time.

  4. 4

    Stir over medium-low until it visibly thickens, eight to ten minutes — patience here is everything.

  5. 5

    Divide between glasses, press clingfilm onto the surface, chill until set, then crown with brown sugar.

Chef's tip

Resting a custard or pudding overnight deepens the flavour and sets a cleaner slice.
