Recipe: caramelised rice pudding by BiBo Shoreditch’s Dani García
Made up of milk, cream, vanilla and rice, this Spanish dessert is the perfect winter warmer
Not only is rice pudding a historically significant dish in Spain, but it’s delicious too, says Dani García. A good test of your technical skills in the kitchen, it’s made up of milk, cream, vanilla and rice and makes for the perfect winter warmer.
Ingredients: serves six people
- 1 litre whole milk
- 300ml double cream
- 2 vanilla pods, seeds scraped
- 250g pudding rice
- 130g caster sugar, plus extra for the top
- 450g unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Method
- Combine the milk, cream and vanilla seeds in a pan and simmer over a medium heat. Stir regularly.
- Put the rice in a separate pan and pour over a third of the milk mixture. Cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture has been completely absorbed. Repeat the process two more times until the rice is cooked and is a little creamy (pudding rice takes a long time to cook, so this will take more than an hour).
- Add the sugar and butter, and cook for another five to ten minutes.
- Divide between large sharing ramekins or individual-sized ones. Place on a tray and chill until completely cold.
- Cover each of the surfaces with a thin layer of extra sugar and use a blowtorch or grill to caramelise the tops.
