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.

RICE PUDDING WITH DRIED APRICOTS



Rice Pudding With Dried Apricots image

This recipe was in BHG November 2007 and is a Sandra Lee Semi Homemade recipe. Really good and easy, my favorite combination, lol. I have also made the pudding with Sun Maid Fruit Bits instead of the dried apricots. This uses 2 pouches Success Rice, but the computer does not recognize this ingredient.

  • For a vegan version of this recipe, use almond milk or coconut milk instead of cow's milk and omit the butter.
  • Serve the rice pudding warm or chilled, garnished with additional dried fruits, nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
