  1. Cook the cream of rice in milk until very soft and smooth.
  2. Blend the cereal briefly to remove any graininess; sieve if needed.
  3. Blend and sieve the drained peaches separately, then thicken if juice separates.
  4. Swirl the two smooth components together and run the fork-drip and spoon-tilt tests at eating temperature.
  5. Serve without granola, fruit pieces, skins, or a thin syrup drizzle.
EquipmentSmall pot, blender, fine sieve
SLP tipKeep the peach puree thick enough that it does not create thin liquid pockets in the cereal.

Before serving: run the spoon tilt and fork drip tests on the finished plate. Recipes guide you to a texture. Only the test confirms it.
