Indulge in the creamy, nostalgic flavours of easy baked rice pudding, a timeless dessert that brings warmth and comfort to any occasion.

Preparing baked rice pudding is delightfully easy. After mixing the rice, milk, and flavourings, let the Instant Pot or oven do the work, creating a smooth and rich pudding with minimal fuss.

Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg on top before baking for an added layer of warmth and flavour.

Whether enjoyed warm from the oven or chilled for a refreshing treat, easy baked rice pudding is versatile and timeless. Serve it on its own or with a spoonful of jam, fresh berries, or a drizzle of honey for a touch of sweetness. This simple yet indulgent dessert is a comforting way to end any meal, bringing the traditional charm of rice pudding into your kitchen with ease.

Ingredients

  • 10 g unsalted butter/plant-based alternative
  • 400 ml coconut milk

  • Pinch of salt
  • 120 g pudding rice

Instructions

  1. Butter a baking dish (that will fit into the basket of your Vortex Air Fryer with a little space to spare for air circulation).
  2. Place the coconut milk and cream, and heat in the microwave until warm and melted. Stir in the sugar, vanilla, cardamom, and salt.
  3. Add the rice to the baking dish, then pour over the coconut milk.
  4. Place the dish the Vortex Air Fryer and select Bake, Set the temperature to 140°C and the time to 1 hour. After 45 minutes check to see of the rice is cooked, and if it needs a little longer, put back in for the remaining 15 minutes.
