Ingredients

Method

• 100 g risotto or carnaroli rice
• 3 cardamom pods, crushed
• 1 T coconut oil

Method

Ingredients

1. Gently fry the rice and cardamom in the coconut oil over a medium to low heat for 5 minutes. Add the caster sugar, vanilla and 4 cups almond milk and simmer for 20–30 minutes, stirring
   occasionally.
2. Add the remaining almond milk to loosen the mixture if necessary.
3. Heat the sugar and ½ cup water in a small saucepan. When the sugar has dissolved, add the raspberries and cook for 5 minutes.
4. Remove from the heat, add the rose-water and strawberries. Spoon over the rice pudding.

Cook's note: Almond or coconut milk makes this delicious and dairy-free. But you could also use equal parts full-cream milk and cream for an extra-creamy version.
