Steps:

  • Combine cooked rice, milk, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and stir in the vanilla and raisins. Cook until just about all of the milk is absorbed (30-45 minutes, depending on how absorbent your rice is). Stir in cinnamon and/or nutmeg, if using. Divide rice pudding into individual serving dishes serve warm or chilled. *Note: Sometimes I add an extra 1/2 cup of milk, if the rice seems unusually firm or dry, to make it creamier. Feel free to add a bit extra if the pudding is not as creamy as you like it. You can use nonfat, lowfat, whole or soy milk in this recipe.

ROCKIN' LEFTOVER RICE PUDDING RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Rockin' Leftover Rice Pudding Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-48

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups cooked white rice
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream (use up to 1/2 cup more to make creamier)
2/3 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp butter
1 cup raisins
1-1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp lemon peel
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Steps:

  • Over medium heat, in medium non-stick saucepan, add rice, milk, heavy cream, sugar, butter & salt. Add raisins and vanilla. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Mix in lemon peel, cinnamon and nutmeg. Remove from heat, and put in large bowl. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice. Medium-grain rice, such as Arborio or Carnaroli, is best for rice pudding because it absorbs liquid well and holds its shape when cooked.
  • Cook the rice properly. Be sure to cook the rice according to the package directions. If you overcook the rice, it will become mushy and the rice pudding will be too soft.
  • Use whole milk. Whole milk will give the rice pudding a richer flavor and creamier texture. If you use skim or low-fat milk, the rice pudding will be thinner and less flavorful.
  • Add sugar to taste. The amount of sugar you add to the rice pudding is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Use fresh spices and flavorings. Fresh spices and flavorings, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg, will give the rice pudding a more intense flavor. Be sure to use fresh spices and flavorings, as old spices and flavorings can lose their potency.
  • Cook the rice pudding slowly. Rice pudding should be cooked slowly over low heat. This will help prevent the rice from scorching and will give the flavors time to meld together.
  • Stir the rice pudding frequently. Stirring the rice pudding frequently will help prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and will help ensure that the rice pudding cooks evenly.
  • Serve the rice pudding warm or cold. Rice pudding can be served warm or cold. If you serve it warm, be sure to let it cool slightly before eating so that you don't burn your tongue.

Conclusion:

Rice pudding is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be made with a variety of ingredients. By following these tips, you can make a rice pudding that is creamy, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you have leftover rice, don't throw it away! Make rice pudding instead.
