There's just something so tasty and comforting about a classic rice pudding. Sit back and enjoy!

240g short-grain rice
2/3 cup (150g) caster sugar
1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped
1 cinnamon quill
1 strip pared orange zest
1.25L (5 cups) milk, plus extra 1 cup (250ml)
Thickened cream and freeze-dried strawberries (optional), to serve

Strawberry sauce

250g strawberries, hulled, plus extra halved strawberries to serve
Juice of 1/2 an orange
2 tsp icing sugar

Method

1.

For the strawberry sauce, place all the ingredients in a blender and whiz until smooth. Strain through a sieve into a bowl and set aside.
2.

Place rice in a sieve and rinse until water runs clear. Transfer rice to a saucepan over low heat with sugar, vanilla seeds and pod, cinnamon, orange zest and milk. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until sugar dissolves.
3.

Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring regularly, for 45 minutes or until rice is tender. Slowly begin to add extra milk, stirring constantly, stopping once pudding is a creamy consistency.
4.

Scatter with extra fresh and freeze-dried strawberries, if using, and serve warm with strawberry sauce and thickened cream.
