- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Yields:
-
8 dessert portions
- Serves:
- 8
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups whole milk
- 1⁄4 cup whole powdered milk
- 1 pinch saffron (optional)
- 1 cup cooked brown basmati rice
- 3⁄4 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1⁄4 cup coconut sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄3 cup raisins, soaked in warm water and drained
- 1⁄4 cup chopped soft dates (soak with the raisins if they're too dry)
directions
- In a large pot over medium heat, combine the milk, milk powder, saffron (if using) and cooked rice, whisking well.
- Heat until the mixture begins to boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring often, until the mixture begins to thicken – about 5 minutes.
- Increase the heat to medium and add the coconut milk, coconut sugar, cardamom and cinnamon.
- Continue to cook, stirring, until the mixture just begins to thicken again, approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
- When mixture begins to thicken, remove from the heat and stir in the raisins and dates.
- Serve warm, room temperature or chilled – if chilling, cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to avoid forming a “skin”.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>Montessori teacher, nutritionist and pastry chef: baking is my passion, but teaching the value of good food to whole families is close to my heart too! I have a passion for re-instilling the love of good-quality, home-made and mostly healthy food into the hearts and kitchens of children and their families today. I believe that any ?homemade? food, even when labelled as naughty, is a more wholesome treat than pre-packaged, cookie-cutter junk.</p>
