Cardamom Rice Pudding with Coconut Cream
I have a mild obsession with cardamom. I just find it so exotic and transporting, and so it didn’t involve a long conversation with myself before I knew that that was what I just had to add to my basic rice pudding to ‘re-introduce’ it to y’all. And? Symphony in your mouth stuff.
Ingredients
Cooks in: Serves:3 - 4
- 3 Cups milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 heaped tsp brown sugar
- 3 cardamom pods, 'bruised' (squashed in a pestle and mortar to open then up)
- 1/2 Cup (100g) arborio (risotto) rice
- Pinch of nutmeg, for dusting
- 1 small tin coconut cream, for serving
What to do
1. Add the milk, vanilla, brown sugar and cardamom pods to a medium-sized saucepan and bring to the simmer. Add in the rice, and leave to simmer for a further 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. 2. Remove from the heat and serve as soon as possible with a dusting of nutmeg and coconut cream on the side.
