Ingredients

2 cup milk

2/3 cup caster sugar

2 teaspoon vanilla essence

450 gram packet microwave long-grain white rice

1/4 cup cream

200 gram packet dried fruit salad

1 cinnamon stick

Method

1.Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan forced. Lightly grease a 1.5-litre (6-cup) ovenproof dish. Place milk, 1/2 cup of the sugar, essence and rice in prepared dish. Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes or until milk is absorbed. Remove pudding from oven; skim off milk particles. Stir in cream.

2.Meanwhile, place 1 cup cold water, fruit salad, cinnamon and remaining sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until syrup thickens slightly. Remove from heat. Stand for 5 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick.

3.Serve rice pudding with compote.

For a richer padding, stir in 75g grated white chocolate. For a little crunch, top with toasted slivered or flaked almonds. Rice will absorb liquid on standing. When reheating leftovers, add a little more milk or cream to rice and stir over low heat until hot.
