1L (4 cups) light milk, plus 1 tablespoon extra
1/2 cup (110g) arborio risotto rice
2 tablespoons caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon rosewater (see Notes)
1 teaspoon cornflour
1/2 cup low-joule strawberry jam, warmed

Method

1.

Place milk and rice in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to just below boiling point. Reduce the heat to low and gently cook, stirring occasionally, for 30-40 minutes until the rice is tender.
2.

Add the sugar, vanilla extract and rosewater to the rice, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Mix cornflour with the extra 1 tablespoon milk to form a smooth paste, then add to the rice and stir over low heat for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
3.

Divide the rice pudding among bowls, then serve immediately, drizzled with warm strawberry jam.
