Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 3 cups Low-fat (2%) milk
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
- 0 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Spray a medium-sized saucepan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In the saucepan, combine cooked white rice, 2 1/2 cups of the low-fat milk, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to thicken, about 10-12 minutes.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup low-fat milk and egg yolks until smooth.
Step 5
Slowly add the egg yolk mixture to the saucepan, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Step 6
Reduce heat to low and continue cooking, stirring constantly, for another 8-10 minutes, or until the rice pudding reaches a creamy consistency.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and raisins, if using.
Step 8
Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon if desired.
