Serves: 4
Ingredients
3 cups whole milk
¼ cup castor sugar
2 strips lemon rind
½ cup short-grain rice
1 cup cream
1 tsp ground cardamom
½ large papaya
¼ cup castor sugar
2 strips lemon rind
½ cup short-grain rice

½ large papaya
Decadent and delicious. Cut the richness with the papaya puree.
Method
1. Bring the milk, sugar and lemon rind to the boil and stir until sugar dissolves.
2. Add the rice and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly so the milk does not catch. Transfer the mixture to a greased 5-cup capacity ovenproof dish. Cover with foil or a lid.
3. Bake at 180ºC for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent a skin forming. Stir in the cream and cardamom, then cook for a further 5 minutes. Cool, then chill. Serve in individual serving glasses topped with papaya puree.
4. To make the puree, remove the seeds from the papaya half and peel. Place the pulp into a food processor and preocess until smooth. Sweeten to taste.
