Creamy rice pudding enriched with butternut and vanilla is a gentle dessert with real autumn charm.

Why add butternut to rice pudding?

Butternut works well in rice pudding because it becomes soft and makes the vanilla flavour feel fuller. Cinnamon adds warmth and keeps the dessert from tasting flat. It gives classic rice pudding a gentle autumn twist.
