Rice Pudding

Slow cooker rice pudding

Ingredients 

• 6.8 cups pudding rice, (short grain rice)

• 1.5 tbsp butter, (melted)

• 3 cups full fat milk

• 0.8 cups double cream

• 0.5 cups caster sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 0.3 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions 

• Rinse the pudding rice in a sieve under cold water and drain.

• If you are not using a non-stick slow cooker, use a little butter to grease the bottom and sides of the slow cooker pot to stop the pudding from sticking as it cooks.

• Add the rice, melted butter, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla extract and ground nutmeg to the slow cooker pan and stir to mix.

• Place the lid on and cook for 3 hours on low. You can give the rice a stir half way through the cooking time or just leave it. Slow cookers do vary, so check the rice after 2 hours and again after 2 hours 30 mins – it's done when the rice is tender (not mushy) and the creamy sauce is thick and silky.
