Ingredients

  • 100 g butter
  • 150 g Whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 500 ml milk
  • a pinch of salt
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • vanilla beans (scraped seeds)
  • 125 g natural whole grain rice
  • 5 sheets white gelatin
  • 1 tbsp grated orange zest
  • 150 ml freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 150 g low‑fat yogurt
  • 150 g whipping cream
  • 2 untreated oranges

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Knead diced butter with flour and sugar into a smooth dough quickly. Wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.

  2. 2.

    Bring milk, salt, and vanilla seeds to a boil, stir in the rice, cover, and simmer on low heat for about 40 minutes until it thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. 3.

    Roll out the shortcrust dough to fit the pan size and lay it on the pan base. Prick with a fork several times. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C fan‑forced for about 15–20 minutes until golden brown. Remove and cool.

  4. 4.

    Soak gelatin in cold water. Mix orange zest, juice, sugar, and yogurt into the rice. Dissolve the gelatin in a small pot over low heat until liquid, then stir thoroughly into the rice. Whip cream to stiff peaks and fold in.

  5. 5.

    Place the baked shortcrust base on a cake plate, set a ring around it, spread the rice mixture over it, and chill for at least 3 hours until firm.

  6. 6.

    Peel zest from both oranges for garnish and cut out fillets. Release the cake from the pan and serve decorated with orange zest and fillets.
