Creamed Rice
Growing up we rarely got dessert, but when we did it was peaches in jelly with ice cream or 'creamed rice'. Do you know it? That's rice in a tin. OK, it sounds horrible but boy did we love it growing up. It was a special treat to get that! I have tried for years to recreate the exact flavour and failed until recently. I have now nailed it! This is so delicious served on its own or with some stewed fruit. Budget but so good! -Peta.
Recipe Tester Feedback: "This is the ultimate comfort dessert - sweet, creamy and a real belly-warmer on a cold winter evening. Our whole family enjoyed this, the adults with a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon on top, the kids with a swirl of pureed fruit." -Melissa
