Coconut & Pineapple Rice Pudding
3 cups milk (I use rice milk as I dont eat dairy but any milk works)
4 cardamon pods or 1/4 tsp ground cardamon
1 cinnamon stick or 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup brown sugar
60gm butter
2 cups coconut cream
3/4 cup uncooked short grain rice
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/3 cup raisons
1 cup canned crushed pineapple
Bring milk, cardamon and cinnamon slowly to a boil in casserole dish with a lid. Turn off heat, leave for 5 mins, then (if not using ground spices) strain through seive. Stir in sugar and butter, then add coconut cream, rice and nutmeg. Bring back to boil again and simmer gently for 20 mins uncovered.
Transfer to oven and bake with lid on for 15 mins. Add raisons and pineapple and bake for a further 15 minutes with lid on. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 mins before serving,
ohhh I make an easy butterscotch pudding that melts your toes.... better find that recipe again
Here it is "DONNA" :)
* Low-fat Chocolate self-saucing Pudding *
INGREDIENTS ;
reduced-fat margarine, to grease ovenproof-dish
1 Cup SR flour
1/2 Cup, lightly packed Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Cocoa Powder
1/2 Cup Skim Milk
40g reduced-fat marg, melted
2 Cups of Boiling water (whoops guys, I left that important detail out before :rolleyes:)
METHOD ;
Preheat oven 180c.
Lightly grease with reduced-fat margarine a 6cup (1.5L) capacity ovenproof-dish.
Combine the flour, HALF the brown sugar & HALF the cocoa powder in a medium bowl. Add the milk & melted margarine & stir until well combined. Pour into the prepared ovenproof-dish.
Sift the remaining brown sugar & cocoa into the bowl. Sprinkle pudding with the sugar mixture. Gently pour in boiling water.
Bake in oven 35-40mins or until a cake-like top forms & a skewer inserted halfway into the centre comes out clean.
Remove from oven & set aside for 5mins to cool slightly (and sauce will thicken a little).
PLEASE NOTE : There is lots of sauce BUT it's not thick ... yet does taste so yummy for a low-fat dessert :dance:
I find I need to have it in the oven for the 40mins ;)
(is nice as left-over dessert the next day/night)
Caramel pears on waffles :) Soooo yummy!
How much boiling water Smiles? (Sorry, I need everything spelled out for me. :P)
What a goose I am! I just realised this was for desserts!!!:doh:
I like the brownies on the Nestle site. I use fair trade chocky and feel like I'm sticking it to them!!!:cryinglaugh:
(Banana Cream Pie- ) My kids and Hubby like this for a special treat.

Choc or butterscotch self saucing is always a winner.

Blueberry scrolls
Make a scone dough, roll it out flat, break up into chunks cooking chocolate, one can strained blueberries, sprinkle with sugar and then roll it up and slice into 1 and half cm thick slices lay the slices out on a baking tray brush with egg sprinkle with sugar.. bake until cooked and golden brown
Serve with Vanilla Icecream :)
These are just delicious and my sweet Dh makes them for me :)
OMG NELLE lucky you told me ... oh, what a num num am I for leaving that out :rolleyes:
(Ah, ... I must confess my 2 year old was having a super scream as I was trying to type it out :doh: ... I have checked everything else ... alls good)
Yep, so it's - 2 Cups of Boiling Water :dance:
I reckon you could put less water if you want (as there is more than enough sauce) ;)
... Keep in mind it is low-fat !! ... and ya gotta have low-fat vanilla ice-cream with it !!
I just made blueberry tarts for dessert tonight - couldn't make anything easier! Puff pastry in muffin moulds, frozen blueberries and sugar in them. Bake til they look ready, mmm mmmmm. We had them with ice-cream.
