Dessert

Why a simple recipe for rice pudding? Well, some time ago I was at the opening of a pottery with my children, where my son and I had the opportunity to make our own ceramic bowls. Certainly not a masterpiece and not the most difficult way to potter, but handmade nonetheless. Just like cooking, it’s the small and simple things, like ice cream, that make us happy. So, who of you doesn’t have childhood memories of rice pudding with sugar and cinnamon? I think everyone does and so it’s dessert recipes like this that create emotions and above all, are to be enjoyed together.

Rice pudding for children and adults

So, when the little man got his own handmade bowl home, I thought of the ideal dish to fill it for him and here we are, rice pudding it should be. To give rice pudding a little twist without losing its origin and become something special for children, as well as the adults, I added shortbread snow. Shortbread snow is ultimately nothing more than crumbled shortbread mixed with brown butter and a pinch of salt. The mix is then frozen and you grate it down afterwards. This way you still have something crunchy with a different temperature on your dessert plate.

The answer is always rice pudding

The boys ask for rice pudding at least once a week and to be honest, rice pudding always goes. If I don’t feel like it, I’m still happy to find some rice pudding in the fridge to enjoy as a little dessert the day after. Since the boys like their rice pudding best with homemade applesauce and the shortbread snow on top, we always have both on hand. Applesauce can be canned and the shortbread snow is in the freezer. This makes the effort really minimal and the joy greater.
