 800 Unsweetened almond milk or rice milk
 1 Beaten organic egg
 180 Fine corn polenta or cornmeal or buckwheat.
 1 Orange zest
 ½ Orange (juice)
 3 Orange blossom honey or 1 teaspoon of powdered stevia or 20g of natural plant-based stevia sweetener.

 50 Amber rum

 5 Dried plums
 20 Lactose-free butter or ghee or deodorized coconut oil.
Directions
1

Preheat the oven to 200 °C, gas mark 7.

2

Grate the zest of the orange. Pour the milk and orange zest into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour in the polenta or chosen semolina into the boiling milk while stirring, then reduce the heat.

3

In a saucepan, heat the raisins with the amber rum for 5 minutes. Pit and cut the prunes into small pieces.

4

Add to the mixture, while stirring, the remaining raisins and rum, the pistachios or sesame or chia seeds, the orange juice, the almond powder, the stevia sugar for a sugar-free recipe or honey, and finally the butter (optional). Add the beaten egg while stirring.

5

Grease and flour a cake pan or individual silicone molds with whole grain rice flour and pour in the prepared mixture.

6

Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool before serving. In step 1, if you did not add the stevia sugar and made a sugar-free recipe, drizzle honey over each portion.

7

To finish, let cool before unmolding. Serve plain or drizzled with a custard or a bit of sugar-free jam.
