Indulgent Salted Caramel Rice Pudding: A Creamy Twist on a Classic Comfort Dessert

For me, there’s nothing like a bit of old-fashioned comfort food, and creamy rice pudding is a classic that takes me straight back to my childhood. My grandmother used to make it, and seeing one coming out of the oven fills me with nostalgia.

I was thrilled to discover this Salted Caramel Rice Pudding recipe while dining at The Montague in London. The dish, created by Beatrice Tollman, the founder and president of the Red Carnation Hotel group, showcases her culinary expertise and love for sharing recipes. After tasting it, I couldn’t resist buying her book,  A Life in Food, a treasure trove of her favourite dishes.

This easy caramel pudding combines simple, comforting flavours with the added twist of a rich **salted caramel sauce** and the crunch of caramelised nuts. Serve the sauce and nuts separately to let your guests personalise their dessert. Both the salted caramel sauce and caramelised nuts are versatile accompaniments that pair beautifully with other desserts. Don’t hesitate to experiment!

This Salted Caramel Rice Pudding Recipe topped with Caramelised Nuts combines so many delicious flavours and textures, yet this old fashioned favourite with a twist is so easy to make.

Ingredients

  • PUDDING
  • 75g jasmine rice
  • 100g sugar
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 4 strips lemon peel
  • 1/2 litre whole milk
  • 250ml double cream
  • 500ml double cream, whipped
  • SALTED CARAMEL SAUCE
  • 250g sugar
  • 50g butter
  • 250ml double cream
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • CARAMELISED NUTS
  • 250g nuts (pecans, pumpkin seeds, almonds and walnuts)
  • 125g sugar

Instructions

  1. Pudding Put all the ingredients except the whipped cream into a saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring often to prevent burning. It takes about 30 minutes for the rice to be tender with most of the liquid absorbed and thickened to a pouring consistency.  Pour into a flat dish and cover with cling film to prevent a skin forming, then let it cool.  When it has cooled, fold in the whipped cream.
  2. For the caramel sauce Put the sugar into a saucepan, add enough water so it resembles wet sand, and boil until a light caramel colour is reached.  Remove from the heat and carefully whisk in the butter and cream, then return to the heat.  Bring back to the boil and add sea salt.
  3. Caramelised nutsToast the nuts in the oven.  Put the sugar in a wide saucepan, add enough water so it resembles wet sand and cook until the sugar is on the verge of caramelising.  Turn off the heat and add the nuts, stirring vigorously.  The nuts will crystallise, turning white and coated in sugar.  Turn the heat back on and stir continuously to re-caramelise.  The nuts should be individually coated in crusted caramel sugar.
