Kids can help stir and fluff the rice and add the spices. This makes for a nice dessert on a cool evening or a fun weekend breakfast.

Instructions

Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine water, rice and butter. Bring to a boil and stir well to combine. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook for about 40 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is tender.

Step 2
Uncover saucepan and using a fork, fluff rice. Add milk and brown sugar and bring to a simmer, stirring often to break rice up a bit. Remove from heat and stir in cinnamon and cardamom. Let mixture cool.

Step 3
Strawberry Sauce: Meanwhile, in another small saucepan, bring strawberries, water and sugar to boil. Cook, stirring often for about 5 minutes or until strawberries are softened and liquid is reduced. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 4
Divide the rice pudding between 2 bowls and top each with some of the sauce.

Tips

You can use only one spice if you don’t have both. Simply use 1/2 tsp (2 mL) of either cinnamon or cardamom.

Angahd, from Mississauga, thinks kids would like this recipe because it is sweet but really healthy. Using fresh, in-season strawberries adds natural sweetness and great colour.
