Rice pudding with fresh strawberries – Recipe

Top oozy rice pudding with sweet strawberries for a comforting dessert. Get kids to help out with mixing the rice pudding ingredients and mashing the strawberries.

Ingredients
100g/3½oz pudding rice, rinsed
40g/1½oz caster sugar
750ml/1¼ pint semi-skimmed milk
200g/7oz strawberries

Rice pudding
Method
Preheat the oven to 150C/130C Fan/Gas 2.

Put the rice in a 1-litre/1¾-pint baking dish, then mix in the sugar and milk. Place the dish on a baking tray and bake for 1¾-2 hours, or until the rice is soft and the mixture thickened with a golden top. Set aside.

Remove the stalks from the strawberries. Rinse the fruit, then put it in a bowl and mash using a fork until almost smooth. Serve the rice pudding warm with a spoonful of mashed strawberries on top. This is so yummy. Milk puddings are a well established tradition in British cookery. They are economical, made from store cupboard ingredients and are simple to make. Once the pudding is in the oven you don’t have to do anything apart from wait for it to cook.
