This is done in the slow cooker – so just mix and forget – I love it!

It serves about four, or six if you have smaller serves as it is heavy, but it is lovely on a cold night.

1/2 cup of basmati rice;

3 cups full cream milk;

1 cup of cream (I used thickened because that’s what I had);

1 tsp vanilla essence;

1 tsp orange essence;

1/2 tsp brandy essence;

Slivered almonds to decorate.

Put everything in the slow cooker and stir gently to combine.

Cover and cook on high for 2 1/2 hours.

Serve and enjoy.

You can also change the flavourings if you prefer – experiment a little and choose your favourites.
