TOTAL TIME: 45 mins
YIELD: 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
- ¾ cup cooked white rice
- 1 ½ cups cold water
- 2 cups goat milk (prepared using Good Goat Milk Powder*)
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- ½ cup chopped dried apricots
- 1 egg, beaten
- ⅔ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tbsp butter
- Ground cinnamon for topping
*To make 2 cups of goat milk: Mix 2 scoops (56g) or approximately 7 tablespoons of Good Goat Milk Powder with 2 cups (480ml) of water. Stir well until smooth.
METHOD
- In a small bowl or jug, whisk together the reconstituted goat milk and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until the rice is soft and the water is absorbed.
- Add 1½ cups of the goat milk, sugar, and salt to the cooked rice. Cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.
- Stir in the remaining ½ cup of goat milk, the beaten egg, and the chopped apricots. Continue cooking for 2 more minutes, stirring constantly to avoid scrambling the egg.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract. Spoon into bowls and sprinkle with cinnamon before serving.
- Serve warm, or chill for a refreshing treat later.
