  • 1 pinch or to taste Cinnamon, Gorund, pinch
  • 300 grams Cheese, Cream (10.5 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon Honey, Or agave nectar
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut oil

Instructions

Method

1. Cover the rice with the water and cook. Add the cinnamon for flavour and some sugar if you want additional sweetness.

2. Follow your specific brands instructions but, by the end, almost all of the water should have been absorbed. Using a rice cooker is easiest.

3. While the rice is still hot, stir in the cream cheese, the agave nectar or honey and, if you choose to add it, the coconut oil.

4. Mix well and then spoon out onto a flat tray. If you want to add jam, spoon out a 1cm deep base, spread the jam over the top and then spoon the rest of the mixture on top to cover it.

5. Compress well, wrap in cling-film and, once cool, leave overnight in the fridge. 6. Cut into small squares, wrap individually in foil and enjoy! You can freeze the rice cakes so you should always be able to have a good supply.
