Salted Caramel Rice Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil, add the rice and cook it for 2 minutes. Strain and set aside.
• Split the vanilla pod in half lengthways and scrape out the seeds. Place the pod and seeds in a large saucepan with the milk, sugar and salt and heat to a gentle simmer. Pour in the rice and stir well. Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Remove from the heat when all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
• Remove the vanilla pod. Add the egg yolks, return to the hob and heat gently for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat, stir in the butter and leave to cool.
• To make the caramel sauce, heat the sugar in a saucepan over a medium heat. Keep an eye on it and stir frequently to ensure the sugar doesn't burn. When the sugar has melted remove the pan from the heat, leave to cool for about a minute, then slowly pour in the cream and stir until you have a smooth sauce.
• Pour the rice pudding into individual small serving dishes. Serve the caramel sauce on the side for guests to add their own.

Steps:

• Bring milk, rice, and kosher salt to a boil in a medium saucepan, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until mixture has the texture of creamy porridge, 30 to 35 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons sugar and vanilla. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, in another medium saucepan, stir together remaining 3/4 cup sugar and corn syrup. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until sugar has dissolved and mixture boils, about 5 minutes. Uncover; continue boiling, swirling pan occasionally until mixture turns amber, 3 to 4 minutes more (if crystals start to form, brush down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush).
• Carefully add 1/2 cup cream in a steady stream (it will bubble vigorously). Remove from heat, add flaky sea salt, and stir until smooth. Let cool completely.
• Whisk remaining 3/4 cup cream to soft peaks; fold into cooled rice pudding. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours (and up to 2 days). Serve rice pudding in bowls with caramel sauce, pistachios, dried fruits, toffee, and fresh berries on the side.
