Ingredients

For the recipe:
  • 450ml whole milk
  • 1tsp unsalted butter
  • 400ml water
  • 100ml organic basmati rice, rinsed 3 times in cold water
  • ½tsp natural sea salt
  • 2 free-range eggs, beaten
  • 110g granulated sugar
  • 15 pitted dates, finely chopped
  • Organic Fairtrade cinnamon sugar, for garnish

Method

01
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Butter a medium sized baking dish.
02
Combine the water and the rice in a small saucepan, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan and cook for around 10 minutes until the water has been absorbed. Leave covered for 5 minutes, then fluff up the grains to separate them.
03
Stir in the milk and salt into the rice and cook until the mixture starts to thicken - this should take 5 minutes.
04
Whisk together the eggs, sugar and vanilla essence in a bowl. Slowly stir into the rice pudding mix, then add the dates, mixing in thoroughly.
05
Transfer the rice pudding mix into the prepared dish and heat in oven until the pudding is firm.
06
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with organic cinnamon sugar.
