About this dish
Flavour comes from herbs, spices and the ingredients themselves.
Our rice pudding is slow-cooked with milk, a real vanilla pod, cinnamon and mixed spice until thick and creamy. A small amount of maple syrup rounds off the flavour.
Enjoy it warm on a chilly morning or straight from the fridge as a cool pudding. The soft, spoonable texture suits babies who are still learning to manage lumps.

Questions parents ask
Can babies have rice pudding?
Yes. Rice pudding is soft and spoonable, which makes it easy for babies from 7 months. Ours is made fresh with whole ingredients you would use at home.
Do I serve the rice pudding warm or cold?
Microwave for 5 seconds (baby) or 10 seconds (toddler) to take the chill off, or serve it chilled. Rice dishes keep in the fridge for 1 day.
Is there a dairy-free rice pudding?
Yes. Our dairy-free rice pudding swaps the milk for oat milk and keeps the vanilla and spices. Add your child's dietary needs to your account and we send that version.
