Ingredients

Method

1.Rinse the rice in a sieve under cold water until the water runs clear; drain.
2.Place the milk, sugar, rind and vanilla into a medium heavy-based saucepan; bring almost to the boil. Stir in the rice; reduce the heat and simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent mixture sticking to base of pan. When the rice is tender, remove the pan from the heat. Cool. Transfer to a large bowl.
3.Meanwhile, to make the tropical salsa, combine the papaya, mango and passionfruit in a small bowl.
4.When the rice is completely cool, beat cream in a small bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Fold cream through rice mixture.
5.Spoon the rice mixture between six glasses. Spoon over the tropical salsa.

Not suitable to freeze or microwave. You will need about 3 passionfruit for this recipe. The creamy rice is best made on the day of serving, but can be made to the end of Step 2 a day ahead. Stir in a little more milk if mixture becomes too thick overnight.
