Ingredients
- 125 g of condensed coconut milk
- 120 ml of passion fruit pulp, (from approx. 2-3 fruits)
- 2 medium eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 lime, finely grated zest
- 80 g of caster sugar
- 60 g of unsalted butter, cubed and softened, plus extra for greasing
- 125 g of pudding rice
- 700 ml of whole milk
Method
Step 1
To make the curd, place the eggs, passion fruit pulp, lime zest and sugar in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon for 10 mins, until thickened, then remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, one cube at a time. Pour into a sterilised jar, seal, then leave to cool before putting in the fridge to chill.Step 2
For the rice pudding, preheat oven to 170°C/150°C fan/gas 3-4. Butter a shallow oven dish, approximately 20cm x 20cm. Combine the rice, condensed coconut milk and milk and pour into the dish (it looks like there’s not enough rice, but there is!). Bake for 1 hr 30 mins, stirring twice during cooking, but leaving it untouched for the last 30 mins so a lovely golden skin forms.Step 3
To serve, spoon the warm rice pudding into individual bowls then top with chilled passion fruit curd.
