Beautifully creamy and wonderfully versatile, a classic rice pudding is just perfect for dessert. Creamy vanilla rice pudding, served hot or cold is a favourite comfort food that works just as well served cold in summer as it does to warm you up in winter. This version has sultanas for bursts of delightful sweetness. We prefer ours served topped with fruit or nuts.
