    • Total time: 45 minutes 45 minutes

    Serves: 4

    • 100g Waitrose Italian Short Grain Pudding Rice, rinsed
    • 50g caster sugar
    • Grated zest and juice of 2 lemons
    • 100g sultanas
    • 410g can Nestlé Carnation Creamy Evaporated Milk
    • 25g flaked almonds or toasted flaked almonds

    Cook's tips

    If making this pudding in advance, increase the water to 600ml in Step 1. Reheat on the hob, then add the almonds, as in Step 3. Alternatively, reheat the pudding in the microwave on medium power using the manufacturer's guidelines, before adding the flaked almonds.
