QUICK AND EASY, THICK AND CREAMY RICE PUDDING



Quick and Easy, Thick and Creamy Rice Pudding image

This stuff tastes just like Tapioca pudding! I wanted to make rice pudding, but didn't want to make a huge batch. Also, I wanted to start with already cooked rice and have no eggs or evaporated milk on hand. This is a VERY simple adaptation, low-fat, and turns out beautiful and creamy. This recipe can be quite easily doubled or even tripled if desired, just expect longer cooking time.

Time 30m

Yield 2 bowls, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup cooked rice (I use short grain white rice, but you can use any variety and length, just add more milk or cook for)
2 cups nonfat milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 dash salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Combine rice, milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt in medium sauce pan.
  • Put on medium-high heat and bring to light/moderate boil. Let boil for about 20 minutes until liquid has cooked down a bit and starts to thicken.(Stir often and be sure to watch so it doesn't boil over!) A little "skin" may form on top. This is what you want- it adds to the creaminess:).
  • In small bowl, combine cornstarch and water. Pour into rice mixture and stir. It should thicken up fairly quickly. If it doesn't thicken immediately, don't worry. Just keep at medium heat and stir frequently until it is of desired consistency.
  • Pour into bowls and serve immediately. You may top with cool whip if desired.

EASY, CREAMY LOW-FAT RICE PUDDING



Easy, Creamy Low-Fat Rice Pudding image

The use of short-grain sticky rice (also called glutinous rice for its texture) makes this dish creamy without the need for whole milk, cream, or butter. Cook the rice in a rice cooker, and it's even easier! You can find this variety of rice in almost any Asian market, many natural foods stores, and increasingly in the international section of mainstream supermarkets.

This version of rice pudding is made on the stovetop, and is essentially a sweet risotto. Add as much warm milk as you need during the final cooking stages to achieve a consistency you like.

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 cups skim milk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of freshly ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon butter
1/2 cup Arborio rice
1/4 cup Champagne or white grape juice
1 tablespoon Demerara sugar or raw sugar

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, combine the milk, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and heat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Turn the heat to low to keep the mixture warm.
  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add the rice and stir to coat. Add the Champagne and cook, stirring until the liquid is absorbed. Ladle the milk into the rice 1/2 cup at a time, stirring with each new addition, about 35 minutes.
  • Remove from the stove and stir in the remaining milk, if desired, to achieve a creamier consistency. Divide among dessert bowls and sprinkle with the Demerara sugar.

Tips:

  • To achieve a perfectly creamy texture, use high-quality rice such as Arborio or Carnaroli. These varieties have a higher starch content, which helps create a rich and velvety pudding.
  • For a more decadent dessert, use full-fat milk and cream. If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute low-fat or skimmed milk and cream.
  • Add a touch of vanilla extract or almond extract for extra flavor. You can also experiment with other extracts like orange or lemon for a refreshing twist.
  • Don't overcook the rice. It should be tender but still slightly al dente. Overcooked rice will make the pudding mushy.
  • For a creamy rice pudding with a hint of caramel flavor, use brown sugar instead of white sugar.
  • Serve the rice pudding warm or chilled. It's delicious either way!

Conclusion:

With its creamy texture, comforting flavors, and versatility, creamy rice pudding is a timeless dessert that is sure to please everyone. Whether you prefer a classic or a more modern twist, there's a recipe in this article that will satisfy your cravings.
