Black Venus Rice Pudding

Step  0: In a medium pan, add the Rice to the water and bring to the boil over a medium high heat. Once boiling, cover and turn the heat down so that it simmers until all the water has evaporated for around 15-20 minutes.
Step  1: Set the oven to 180C/160C/Gas Mark 4. Then add the coconut milk to the pan along with the sugar and spices and simmer for 5 minutes.
Step  2: Place in an ovenproof dish and bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and check it – if it still looks wet, cook for a further 5 minutes, until a skin has formed.
Step  3: To serve, sprinkle salt on top, and garnish with the fruit of your choice.
