Mmmm, thank you so much! This was lovely. I had an inkling pears and mushrooms mix well, but I hadn’t realised how well!

I made it a bit differently – no dulce de lece, and no coconut milk, just soy milk – but it was still utterly amazing.

I can’t believe you MADE UP that recipe. Who thinks up mushroom-topped rice pudding? INCREDIBLE! I may actually attempt to make your spectacular-looking dessert. And thank you for documenting your mistakes. You saved me (and I’m sure many other readers) from doing the exact same thing.

I have no fear when it comes to boiling sugar or cans of condensed milk for an obscene amount of time. I do have a fear of introducing mushrooms into my beloved rice pudding though. I know it can’t taste that bad, but it just doesn’t seem right to me! That, and raisins in desserts. yuck. Raisins by themselves are okay, but not mixed into things (I must have been traumatized in my formative years). That being said, you have made it look amazingly appetizing.

Hey! great post! I’m from Argentina and thought you may like to get a recipe for Dulce de leche.
Now, it takes two hours to make it but it’s totally worth it.

you need:
Milk, 2 l
Sugar, 500 gr
Baking soda, 1 teaspoon
Vanilla beans, 1
Marble balls, 3 (optional)

(note: marble balls will help stir the dulce while boiling.. the heat should make them “jump” from the buttom of the saucepan)

you do:
1. Put milk, sugar, vanilla bean and marble balls in a saucepan
2. Cook slowly, stiring frequently to prevent sticking.
3. Once boiling, add the baking soda. Keep stiring.
4. You’ll notice it’s ready when it turns brown and thick.
5. Then, take out the balls and that’s it! Easy, cheap and you can keep it in you’re fridge!
It should take about two hours.

If you’d like to get more dulce, you can try using 3 l of milk, 1 kg of sugar and 2 vanilla beans

enjoy!
