- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp cloves
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cup cooked rice (better a day old/a little drier)

- Add the cream, 2 eggs, 1 egg yolk, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, lemon zest, and lemon juice to a bowl. Whisk until fully combined.
- Add rice and dried figs to the bowl and fold into egg mixture.
- Butter/grease individual ramekins, fill about half way with rice pudding mixture, pat down flat with a spoon and place on a baking sheet.
- Slice figs neatly and put a single layer of fresh fig rounds on the top of each pudding.
- Bake for about 35 - 40 minutes until pudding has set and cooked through the center. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Notes
This is my version of a rice pudding my mom used to do with raisins, not overly sweet, just tasty. Fresh and dried figs combine for a different kind of figgy pudding! Plus, brûléed sugar for a crunch on top, so good.
