If we have left over rice (and we don't forget it in the rice cooker) then the next day we usually like to use it for a fun dish. Sometimes we make fried rice for dinner and sometimes I like to make rice pudding. However, this isn't your normal rice pudding.
I like my rice pudding with a little more flavor than normal rice pudding so this version uses a few swaps to amp up the flavor.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups cooked rice (this works for white or brown)
- 2 cups milk
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup craisins
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
In a saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups cooked rice, 1 1/2 cups milk, sugar, salt and craisins. Cook over medium heat until thick and creamy, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup milk, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in butter and honey. You can serve this dish hot or cold with a dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg on top. Enjoy!
Yum! I like the addition of the craisins.
