EXTRA CREAMY RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan stir together sugar with milk, cream, cooked rice, vanilla and cinnamon; bring to a boil uncovered over medium-low heat, stirring often.
• Reduce the heat to low and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally especially as it thickens for about 15 minutes.
• Then lightly stir in eggs; continue cooking stirring often until the mixture thickly coats the spoon and the rice is very soft (about 10 minutes).
• Stir in butter (if using) and raisins.

CREAMY RICE WITH DOUBLE APRICOTS

Steps:

• Put the rice and soya milk into a medium-sized saucepan, stir and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat immediately or the soya will bubble up and can easily boil over. Half cover the pan with a lid then cook gently for 40-45 minutes over a very low heat, stirring occasionally until the rice has swollen and is very tender. The mixture should be thick and creamy.
• While the rice is cooking, mix together the apricots, sugar and single cream alternative.
• Remove the rice from the heat, leave to cool for 15 minutes, then stir in the apricot mixture. Spoon into 4 small tumblers or glass dishes. Cover and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes (or longer if you have the time).
• To serve, spoon two tbsp of apricot compote or 1 tbsp of conserve on top of each dessert and scatter the pistachios on top.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and butter a 1.5-litre baking dish. Put the pudding rice, sugar, vanilla, milk and cream in a bowl and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and grate over a generous layer of nutmeg. Bake for 1 hr 30 mins until a brown skin has formed on top and the rice is cooked and tender.
• Leave to cool slightly, then scoop the warm pudding into bowls and serve with a dollop of jam on top.

APRICOT RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a covered heavy saucepan, bring the rice, milk, apricots, vanilla scrapings and lemon zest to a simmer over medium heat. Immediately reduce the heat to as low as possible, cover tightly, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the rice is very tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn off the heat. Stir the egg yolks into the cooked rice mixture and stir just until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the sugar. Pour the rice pudding into ramekins or dessert cups and let cool. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or until ready to serve, up to 24 hours. Serve with whipped cream.

CREAMY APRICOT RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil over high heat in a saucepan. Stir in your rice. Then, turn down the heat, cover the pan and let simmer for 20 minutes.
• When the rice is done, put it in a clean saucepan with 1 1/2 cups milk, the sugar and salt. Cook this over medium heat, giving it a stir every once in awhile, until it thickens up and gets creamy, 15 to 20 minutes. Crack your egg into a small bowl and beat it with the remaining 1/2 cup milk. Slowly stir this mixture into the rice. Stir in your diced apricots and cook 2 minutes more. Take off the stove and stir in your butter, vanilla, orange zest, and cardamom. Grate some nutmeg over top.
