Method

  1. Step 1

    Combine milk, cream, rice, salt, vanilla and honey in a heavy-based saucepan. Bring to the boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 mins or until rice is tender and liquid is almost absorbed. Set aside for 5 mins to cool.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the pear and cook, turning, for 4-5 mins or until golden. Add the sugar and 1/4 cup (60ml) water. Bring to a simmer and cook, turning occasionally, for 8-10 mins or until the pear is caramelised and tender. Carefully transfer the pear to a heatproof bowl, reserving caramel in the pan. Add the orange juice and grated ginger to the pan and whisk to combine. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.

  3. Step 3

    Divide the rice pudding among serving bowls. Top with the pear and drizzle with caramel. Serve with the crystallised ginger and pistachio.
