One of the most comforting desserts I can remember as a child is Traditional Baked Rice Pudding. There are so many versions of a good rice pudding, and this recipe, in particular, is one of my favourites. The recipe uses sweet rice (Arborio) and a few ingredients mixed all together in a snap, and then simply placed in a slow oven for an hour or so. It is perhaps a more familiar version than my post for Trinidad’s version of rice pudding, called “Sweet Rice”. This traditional rice pudding is loved by everyone, from toddlers to the elders. Give it a try – I am sure that you will love it as much as we do.
