Ingredients

  • 220g arborio rice
  • 1 litre full cream milk
  • 100g Capilano Pure Honey, plus extra to serve
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste 
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1-2 tsp rosewater (optional)
  • 3 sheets filo pastry
  • 50g butter, melted
  • Chopped pistachios, to serve
  1. Rinse the rice under cold, running water until the water runs clear.
  2. Combine milk and honey in a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the rice. Cover and cook for 30-40 mins, stirring occasionally, until the rice is soft and the milk is mostly absorbed.
  3. Remove saucepan from heat, stir in vanilla, cinnamon and rosewater. Sit at room temperature for an hour.
  4. To prepare the baklava topping preheat oven to 200ºC. Brush each sheet of filo with melted butter and stack the sheets on top of one another. Place onto a baking tray and bake for 15-20 mins until golden and crispy. Roughly break up the filo into smaller pieces.
  5. Spoon the rice pudding between 6 cups. Crumble over the crispy filo and scatter with pistachios. Drizzle generously with honey to serve.
