You Will Need (6 things)

  • 200 g Strawberries , sliced
  • 100 g Caster Sugar
  • 200 g Arborio Rice
  • 50 g unsalted Butter
  • 240 ml Single Cream
  • 2 tsp good Vanilla Extract

Steps (5 steps, 10 minutes)

  1. 1

    In a large saucepan bring 1 litre / 35fl oz water to a simmer over a medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. You’ll need this hot water to make the risotto.

  2. 2

    Place another large pan over a medium heat and add the butter. When it has melted, add the rice and stir until it is all coated.

  3. 3

    Add the cream, sugar and vanilla and cook for 1 minute, stirring gently. Increase the heat to medium-high and stir in one ladle of the hot water, then stir frequently until the water is absorbed.

  4. 4

    Continue stirring and adding a ladle of hot water at a time, allowing each ladle to be absorbed before adding the next.
    Cook until the rice is tender and the risotto has a creamy consistency, about 25 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove from the heat and stir in the strawberries until the risotto is light pink.

    Serve while still warm.
