How To Make Rice Pudding
Moving to Canada meant bringing along traditional recipes from Scotland that my family loves.
Making rice pudding is so easy you will wonder why you never tried it sooner.
Don’t worry, though, we all have to start somewhere when it comes to creating new dishes for our families.
Trial and error is always vital, although getting it right first helps.
I can easily say I’ve learned from my mistakes over the years, but that has made me a better cook for my family.
Rice Pudding Extras
This is an ideal rice pudding you can make any time of year as it can be eaten hot or cold and is perfect to bring to parties, potlucks, or even a family BBQ in the summer.
I know I always have my friends asking me for recipes they can whip up in a flash that are unique so they can bring them to gatherings, and rice pudding is a dessert my family loves.
One good thing about rice pudding is that it is an inexpensive dessert and doesn’t take much effort as long as you have all your ingredients in the pantry.
If you think rice pudding is bland, you can easily jazz it with many flavor toppings such as cinnamon, nutmeg or raisins.
My kids enjoy putting a dollop of jam or compote into their rice, or even chocolate chips are a hit to add more sweetness to the rice pudding.
This rice pudding recipe will fill you up and hit the spot, especially if you are craving something creamy with some sweetness.
Not only is this rice pudding easy to make, but it’s light, fluffy, and creamy, and even though it’s made with Arborio rice, it doesn’t give you that heavy feeling after you eat it like some puddings can.
Arborio Rice Makes The Best Rice Pudding
What is Arborio rice?
Arborio rice is a short-grain Italian rice used in many rice pudding recipes.
You can find Arborio rice in almost any grocery store in the international or Italian sections. You can also easily find it on Amazon or any bulk food store.
There are many kinds of rice, from Basmati rice, brown rice, black or red rice, white to Arborio rice, and sweet jasmine rice.
They all make beautiful dishes, but this recipe’s ideal rice is arborio rice.
It’s primarily used in risotto as it soaks up the liquid you put into the dish.
This is why it’s an ideal candidate for rice pudding and what gives it a creamy texture.
You will return for seconds or even thirds of this creamy rice pudding, so make sure you make a double batch.
