Delicious Rice Pudding With Honey Roasted Pears :)

I love a tasty rice pudding , and with honey roasted pears it's super delicious .. A change to the ordinary rice pudding , which could be boring for the palate !
Thought I would share with you all , this scrumptious recipe to warm up your taste buds during the cold winter months . Desserts are more delicious in the winter , lol .. I don't know if that's only me :)

Ingredients

600 ml whole milk
4 pears
30gms butter
175 gms risotto rice
A good splash of cognac , white rum or white wine
4 tbsps of runny honey
1/2 a  vanilla pod
A pinch of cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 200 C or Gas 6 .Scrape the vanilla seeds from the pod , then place the seeds pod and milk into a pan . Let it simmer over a low heat until  the milk is warm turn of the heat and leave it to infuse . Meanwhile roast the pears in the oven for about 20 minutes till they are tender . While the pears are roasting , melt butter in  a pan add the rice and toast shaking occasionally . Add the splash of alcohol now and let the rice absorb it . Start ladling in the vanilla milk stirring frequently until most of it is absorbed by the rice . The rice should be creamy with a bit of a bite and it would take around 25 minutes to be perfect . Swirl in 2/ 3 tbsps of honey at the end  of cooking and the pinch of cinnamon . Add more honey if necessary .
Divide the pudding between 4 bowls , peel the roasted pears and pop them on  top .  Finish with a drizzle of  honey and cinnamon . It's ready to serve and eat ! Enjoy !!

 Bon Appetite .. Keep smiling and have a fabulous day .

Love & Peace
