Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This is a delicious pudding you can make with what's already in the fridge and cupboard. A can of coconut milk is always handy for Thai curries, and pudding rice keeps for ages, so all you need is a jar of dulce de leche.
Even that's not essential - you can just add about 3 tablespoons of brown sugar to sweeten the rice pudding instead. But, if you haven't come across it, dulce de leche is a delicious Argentinian caramel made from sweetened milk condensed to a fudgy sauce. I've had a jar I've been meaning to try for ages. Now I've finally got round to using it I'm hooked and will have to keep some ready as a sauce for ice cream instead of making caramel when I need it. The Merchant Gourmet dulce de leche is available in larger Sainsbury's and Waitrose in banana and coconut as well as the original caramel. For this recipe I used the coconut one. Be warned, though, it's the sort of thing you might find yourself eating straight from the jar.
125g pudding rice
400ml can of coconut milk
300ml milk
3tbsp dulce de leche
Put the rice, coconut milk and milk into a saucepan, bring to the boil and simmer very gently for 30 minutes, stirring every so often. Stir in the dulce de leche and simmer for a few more minutes. Serve hot or cold.
