Blackberry rice casserole from the cast iron pan

Creamy, fruity, uncomplicated

A rice pudding bake is pure comfort food. Few ingredients, little effort – and the result is wonderfully creamy with a fruity blackberry note.

In a cast-iron pan, it bakes particularly evenly – whether in the oven or outdoors on the grill.

Ingredients (for 2–3 servings)

  • 300 ml milk

  • 60 g short-grain rice (pudding rice)

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 1 sachet vanilla sugar

  • 1 pinch of salt

  • 120 g blackberries (fresh or frozen)

  • 1 tsp icing sugar

  • 1–2 tbsp butter (for the pan & as flakes)

Optional:

  • a little lemon zest

  • almond slivers


Preparation

1️. Cook the rice pudding

Bring milk, rice, sugar, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt to a boil in a pot.

Reduce heat and simmer gently for approx. 25–30 minutes, stirring regularly to prevent sticking.

The mixture should be creamy but still slightly runny – it will thicken further in the oven.

Remove from heat and let cool for 5–10 minutes.

2️. Prepare the bake

Preheat oven to 180 °C top/bottom heat (160 °C convection).

Grease a cast-iron pan with butter.

Carefully fold the blackberries into the slightly cooled rice pudding.

Pour everything into the pan and smooth it out.

Scatter a few butter flakes on top and dust with icing sugar.

3️. Bake

Bake on the middle rack for about 20–25 minutes until the surface is golden brown.

On the grill:
Indirect heat at approx. 180 °C, lid closed.


Serve

Best enjoyed warm.

Optional with:

  • vanilla sauce
  • whipped cream
  • a scoop of vanilla ice cream
