Description
Orange Blossom Rice Pudding Cake is a no-bake dessert that transforms creamy rice pudding into an elegant sliceable cake. Flavored with delicate orange blossom water and topped with fresh berries, it’s refreshing, floral, and perfect for warm-weather occasions.
Ingredients
- For the base:
- 200 g Biscoff cookies, finely crushed
- 50 g brown sugar
- 100 g butter, melted
- For the filling:
- 750 ml whole milk
- 190 g rice pudding rice (short-grain)
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons orange blossom water
- 9 gelatin leaves
- 350 g heavy whipping cream
- For the topping:
- Fresh berries (e.g., strawberries, raspberries, red currants)
Instructions
- Crush Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs. Mix with brown sugar and melted butter.
- Press mixture into the bottom of an 18 cm springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator.
- In a saucepan, bring milk to a gentle boil. Add sugar, vanilla, orange blossom water, and rice. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rice is soft and creamy.
- Soak gelatin leaves in cold water for 5–8 minutes. Squeeze out excess water and stir gelatin into the hot rice pudding until fully dissolved. Let mixture cool to lukewarm.
- Whip cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold into the cooled rice pudding mixture.
- Pour filling over the chilled cookie base and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, decorate with fresh berries. Slice and serve cold.
Notes
- Use digestive or tea biscuits instead of Biscoff for a milder crust.
- Lemon blossom water can replace orange blossom water.
- Top with toasted almonds or pistachios for added texture.
- Swirl in berry purée before setting for a marbled effect.
- Use powdered gelatin if gelatin leaves aren’t available (follow package conversion).
