WORLDS BEST SOUTHERN RICE PUDDING



Worlds Best Southern Rice Pudding image

This makes old fashioned southern rice pudding into something decadent. When I make this, I sometimes serve it with a strawberry or raspberry sauce...helps to cut the richness while at the same time adding those calories we all need so much :p I sometimes double this & in my household of 7, it lasts one full day tops. The Southern U.S. grows and eats a LOT of rice and recipes like this are much loved down here.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your rice pudding. Use whole milk, heavy cream, and fresh eggs. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Cook the rice slowly and carefully. This will help to prevent it from becoming mushy. Bring the milk mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the eggs and sugar gradually. This will help to prevent the eggs from curdling. Beat the eggs and sugar together in a bowl, then slowly whisk them into the hot milk mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes more, or until the pudding has thickened.
  • Flavor the pudding to your liking. You can add a variety of spices and extracts to flavor your rice pudding. Some popular options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, vanilla, and almond extract. You can also add fresh fruit, such as berries or bananas.
  • Chill the pudding before serving. This will help it to set and thicken. Pour the pudding into a serving dish and cover it with plastic wrap. Chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Conclusion:

Old-fashioned Southern rice pudding is a delicious and comforting dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a rice pudding that is creamy, flavorful, and sure to please everyone.
