Method
-
To make the rice pudding, preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Place the butter, sugar, cinnamon, lime leaf and vanilla in a saucepan over a low heat and cook until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the rice and add the coconut cream and milk mixture. Tip into a large baking dish and bake for 30–40 minutes, topping up with a little water, if needed.
-
To make the linseed cookies, preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6 and line a baking tray with baking paper. Cream the butter and sugar together in a mixer with a paddle attachment or cream by hand in a bowl with a wooden spoon. Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, and then stir in the vanilla. Add the flour, baking powder and linseeds and mix again. Place rounded tablespoonfuls of the biscuit mixture on the baking tray, leaving a gap of 5cm/2in between each biscuit. Bake for 12–15 minutes.
-
Decorate the rice pudding with the mango, lime zest and coconut and serve with the cookies. Any leftover biscuits will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
