Mango Rice Pudding

Hi there,

This mango rice pudding is a real hit with my son and I. A lot of puddings targeted at children are full of sugar, and generally disguise the taste of the actual foods, so I decided to make my own. This has quite a tart taste, but I generally like my foods that way. I’m definitely on the spectrum of loving bitter foods and tangy tastes. Give me coffee and a lemon tart any day! If the flavour is not sweet enough for you, I would suggest adding some maple syrup. Otherwise, it is great for all of the family.

I prefer my rice pudding cold, but you can serve this hot if you like. How do you like yours?

Love,
