Ingredients

  • 200 g risotto rice (I used carnaroli)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (or more if you like a sweeter rice pudding)
  • 375 ml vanilla-flavored rice milk, warmed (or soy or oat or almond)
  • 125 ml apple juice (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground vanilla bean
  • add-ins of your choice
  • carob powder, chocolate chips, fresh fruit etc

Method

  • In an oven-proof, greased (or non-stick) casserole dish combine rice and sugar. Pour over applejuice. Dissolve spices in warm milk and pour this over the rice, too.
  • Cover pan with aluminium foil and bake in the pre-heated oven at 180°C/350°F for 25 minutes.
  • After the rice has baked for 25 minutes, remove from the oven, uncover and add add-ins of choice. Bake (uncovered) for another 10 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
