Time 1h35m

Yield 1 pudding, 4-6 serving(s)

275 ml brown rice
570 ml milk
4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, grated

  • Stir, then cover and cook on a very low heat for about 50 minutes or until the rice is tender.

  • Then take it off the heat and stir in 3 tbsps of the sugar, the beaten egg, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Next, butter a 4 pint (2.25 litre) casserole dish, spread half the rice mixture in it and top this with half the fruit.
  • Spread the rest of the rice on top and cover this with the remaining fruit.
  • Cover the casserole with a lid and bake in a pre-heated oven for 30 minutes at gas mark 4, 350F or 180°C.
  • At the end of the cooking time, remove the pudding from the oven, spread the yoghurt over the top and sprinkle with the remaining tbsp of sugar.

BAKED RICE PUDDING WITH APRICOTS



Baked Rice Pudding with Apricots image

There are many ways to make rice pudding: on the stove, baked in the oven or a combination of the two. You can make the custard separate from the rice and combine them after and it can be so many different kinds of custards. The nice thing about a baked one is you can make it the night before to enjoy for a special breakfast the next day. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon if you like.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups 2% low-fat milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup brown rice
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup dried cranberries (any dried fruit works well)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or 1/2 bean scraped)
vanilla ice cream
pecans, chopped fine
ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Place the rice in a mesh strainer and place under running water, stirring gently to rinse the rice thoroughly.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice DO NOT BOIL. Once milk has heated and sugar is dissolved, add the rice and stir. Reduce to medium-low and cover. Allow to cook for about an hour, checking/stirring occasionally to see if more milk is needed and how tender the rice is.
  • When rice is tender, remove from heat and stir in the pumpkin, cranberries, and vanilla. Serve warm in individual dessert dishes each topped with ice cream, a sprinkle of finely chopped pecans, and a light dusting of cinnamon.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your pudding will taste. Look for organic, whole grain brown rice and dried fruits that are plump and flavorful.
  • Soak the rice and dried fruits: Soaking the rice and dried fruits before cooking helps to soften them and make them more digestible. This also helps to release their natural flavors.
  • Use a heavy saucepan: A heavy saucepan will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the pudding from scorching.
  • Cook the pudding over low heat: Low heat will help to prevent the pudding from boiling over and will also help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Stir the pudding frequently: Stirring the pudding frequently will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
  • Let the pudding cool slightly before serving: Letting the pudding cool slightly before serving will help to thicken it up and make it easier to scoop.
