It is funny how talk of one thing can lead to something completely different.<\/p>\n<p>I absolutely love rice pudding, it is one of those comfort foods that makes you feel all warm inside. This is one of the easiest ways I have found of making it Slimming World friendly. I find that it does dry up if you leave it till the next day but I don&#8217;t mind cold rice pudding! I love it when it is all stodgy.<\/p>\n<p>All you need is 125g pudding rice (you can find this on the baking aisles in the supermarkets, or you can use any type of short grain rice), 1lt of unsweetened almond milk (healthy extra A choice or 6 syns), 1 tsp nutmeg and sweetener (0.5 syn\u00a0per tbsp.)\u00a0to taste (it is best to add this at the end of the cooking) and cook it in the slow cooker for around 4-5 hours on low. I also like to add a bit of cinnamon once cooked, but this is optional. You can leave it out if you prefer it with just nutmeg.<\/p>\n<p>Mmmm! Simply delicious.<\/p>\n<h5>Topping mad<\/h5>\n<p>Although this pudding tastes perfectly delish on its own, sometimes a little dollop of that certain something can top it off perfectly:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sweeten it up with one level tablespoon of reduced-sugar jam\u00a0for 1 Syn or\u00a01 level teaspoon of honey for 1 syn<\/li>\n<li>For a chocolatey treat, why not indulge in a 15g bag of Cadbury Chocolate Buttons stirred in until they melt, for an additional 4 Syns (soooo good)<\/li>\n<li>Bananas, blueberries, raspberries\u00a0or strawberries can be added for Free<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Supermarket sweep<\/h5>\n<p>Ready made\u00a0rice puddings tend to be quite high in Syns, due to the sugar content. Co-op&#8217;s Truly Irresistible Clotted Cream Rice Puddings are a\u00a0whopping 23\u00bd Syns per portion!!! And a 180g pot of Mulle Rice Original (described as low-fat) is a surprisingly high 9 Syns.
