Fırında Sütlaç (Lightened Oven-Baked Rice Pudding)
A lightened take on Turkish fırında sütlaç, the beloved baked rice pudding traditionally rich with whole milk and cream, rebuilt here on skim milk with a whisper of cocoa stirred in for fibre and only a single egg yolk doing the enrichment work. The result still bakes to that classic speckled, caramelised top and a soft, barely-set custard beneath, just carrying a fraction of the usual calories.

Instructions
1
Heat the skim milk in a saucepan over medium heat until just below a simmer.
2
Whisk the cornstarch and cocoa powder with a splash of the warm milk in a small bowl until smooth, then stir back into the pan to avoid lumps.
3
Add the cooked rice and sugar to the pan, stirring constantly over low heat for 6-8 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
4
Temper the egg yolk by whisking in a few tablespoons of the hot rice mixture, then stir the warmed yolk back into the pan off the heat.
5
Stir in the vanilla extract and divide the mixture evenly between 2 ramekins (180ml each).
6
Place the ramekins in a roasting tray and pour hot water halfway up their sides to create a water bath.
7
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25 minutes, until the tops are speckled golden brown and the custard is just set with a slight wobble.
8
Remove from the water bath and cool to room temperature, then dust the tops with ground cinnamon just before serving.
