Fragrant rice pudding with vanilla, honey, and cardamom; topped with golden honey pears for a stunning dessert.
Ingredients:
  • 1 litre water
  • 133.00 gm powdered milk
  • 3 cardamom pods, bruised
  • 1 vanilla bean split lengthways
  • 32.00 gm light brown sugar
  • 66.00 gm Basmati rice
  • 28.60 gm honey
  • 27.20 gm sultanas
  • 62.50 ml toasted cashews, roughly chopped
  • 187.50 gm water
  • 57.20 gm honey
  • Pinch saffron strands
  • 2 strips of fresh lemon rind

Instructions:
  • Boil water. Whisk in powdered milk, cardamom, half of the vanilla bean, sugar, rice, honey, and sultanas. Reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes to thicken further as it cools.
  • Simmer pears in a mixture of water, honey, saffron, lemon rind, and vanilla bean until tender crisp. Chill in syrup to enhance flavors and saffron color.
  • Present the cozy rice pudding alongside the saffron-infused honey pears and syrup. Finish it off with a generous sprinkle of toasted cashews.
