Sometimes you just really need a little dessert after dinner...but you didn't make one. (ok- I always want dessert) We seem to make a lot of rice in our house. It's pretty much a staple in our kitchen. I also always seem to make too much. There's always leftovers.
Now when there's an ample supply of leftover cooked rice, I throw it in a pot with some milk, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon and it makes the yummiest, easiest rice pudding. You can eat it warm or chill it in the refrigerator, and the best part is you probably already have all the ingredients you need.
WHAT YOU NEED:
2 CUPS LEFT OVER RICE
3 CUPS MILK (whole milk will taste the creamiest)
3/4 CUP SUGAR
PINCH OF SALT
1 TSP. VANILLA EXTRACT
1/2 TSP. CINNAMON (OPTIONAL)
DASH OF NUTMEG (OPTIONAL)
RAISONS/FRUIT (FOR TOPPING)
WHAT YOU DO:
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 if you want them - or you can top the pudding with raisons instead). Cook until just about all the milk is absorbed (20-30 minutes).
Stir in cinnamon and nutmeg, if using.
Divide rice pudding into individual serving dishes. Chill for a few hours, or serve warm.
Top with raisins, fruit, whip cream etc..
Makes 4 - 6 servings
ENJOY!
