We absolutely LOVE rice pudding. It was my pudding every Tuesday and Thursday with my school dinners…. until they changed it to semolina… YEUCK. When they changed it no one ate it so it wasn’t too long until they brought it back. YAAAS.
My nan loved the stuff but she used full fat cream and butter in hers so it wasn’t a very healthy version haha. However I do use whole milk and a knob of butter in our recipe to keep it as close to my nan’s recipe as possible because no traditional rice pudding is the same without it.
Some recommended items from our kitchen to make this dish…
- Double sided dry and liquid measuring spoons for times when you need to measure both liquid and dry ingredients.
- We have this cute little nutmeg grater, it stores our fresh nutmeg inside so they are together. Love it.
- Love these little dishes, they are a great size for so many recipes.

- 1 teaspoon low fat butter (Optional)
- Fresh nutmeg or ground nutmeg
METHOD:
- Preheat oven 180°C fan.
