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

Ingredients

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.

Time 27m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 3/4 cups cooked white rice
1 cup sugar
4 1/2 cups milk, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

In a large saucepan, combine rice, sugar, 4 cups of the milk, and salt. Cook over medium heat until thick and creamy, stirring periodically. This should take 10-20 minutes.
Stir in eggs and remaining 1/2 cup milk.
Cook for an additional two minutes or so, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, spices, and butter.
Cool, serve, and enjoy!

Tips:

Use high-quality rice. Short-grain and medium-grain rice varieties, such as Arborio, Carnaroli, and Valencia, are best for rice pudding because they have a high starch content, which helps to create a thick and creamy texture.
Soak the rice before cooking. Soaking the rice for at least 30 minutes before cooking helps to soften the grains and reduce the cooking time.
Use whole milk or cream. Whole milk or cream will give your rice pudding a richer flavor and a creamier texture.
Add sugar or other sweeteners to taste. The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal preference. You can also use honey, maple syrup, or other natural sweeteners.
Flavor the rice pudding with spices, herbs, or extracts. Common flavorings for rice pudding include cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and almond extract.
Cook the rice pudding slowly and gently. Bring the rice pudding to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened.
Stir the rice pudding frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Let the rice pudding cool before serving. Rice pudding is best served chilled or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Rice pudding is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy texture and delicious flavor, it is a perfect dessert for any occasion.
