When the weather is cold and grey, what better way to warm up than with a classic feel-good pud? This Slimming World rice pudding is a slow-cooked old school sensation – with a twist! Topped with a sprinkling of spice and a fruity flourish, it’s the perfect partner for a cosy night in.
Of course, you can make plain rice pudding if you prefer. Simply skip the spice and mango and enjoy a brilliantly simple bowlful.
