Recipe history

Rice recipes are often found in many cultures, having deep roots in the culinary traditions of various peoples. Rice, as a staple ingredient, has been used for centuries, and combinations with milk and sugar have led to the creation of delights such as sweet risotto or puddings. The rice cake with caramel pudding is a modern reinterpretation of these classic dishes, being easy to make and extremely tasty.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Preparing the rice pudding
Start by bringing 1 liter of milk to a boil in a large pot, adding a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Meanwhile, wash the rice well under cold water to remove excess starch. When the milk begins to boil, add the rice and reduce the heat to medium. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

2. Adding sugar and vanilla
When the rice is almost cooked (about 15-20 minutes), add the 5 tablespoons of sugar and 4 packets of vanilla sugar. Mix well and continue cooking until the rice becomes soft and creamy. If desired, you can add raisins at this point for extra flavor.

3. Preparing the caramel pudding
In another pot, bring 500 ml of milk to a boil. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the two packets of caramel pudding with 50 ml of cold milk until smooth. When the milk in the pot starts to boil, add the pudding mixture and the 3 tablespoons of sugar. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens. Turn off the heat and let it cool, stirring occasionally to prevent a crust from forming.

4. Assembling the cake
Choose a round dish (or any shape you like) and generously grease it with butter. Start by adding a layer of rice pudding, leveling it evenly. On top of this, pour half of the caramel pudding mixture, then add another layer of rice. Continue this way, forming a total of 3 layers of rice and 2 layers of pudding.

5. Cooling the cake
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, so all layers stabilize and flavors meld.

6. Serving the cake
After it has been in the fridge, remove the cake and take off the wrap. Carefully invert the cake onto a serving platter. Use whipped cream to decorate the cake, creating an appealing look. You can also add some fruits or nuts for extra texture and color.

Practical tips

- Choosing the rice: Use long-grain rice or pudding rice, which will provide a creamier texture.
- Sweetener: You can adjust the amount of sugar according to your preferences or use alternatives like honey or natural sweeteners.
- Variations: You can experiment with different flavors by adding cinnamon or lemon zest for a unique taste. You can also replace the rice with quinoa for a gluten-free option.

Frequently asked questions

1. Can I use plant-based milk?
Yes, almond or soy milk can be an excellent alternative for a vegan version.

2. How can I store the cake?
The cake can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, sealed in an airtight container.

3. Can it be frozen?
Although it can be frozen, the texture may suffer a bit, so it's best to consume it fresh.
