Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice
• 2 cups Low-fat milk
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.33 cup Golden raisins
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the cooked rice, low-fat milk, almond milk, and granulated sugar. Stir to combine.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

Once the mixture starts to thicken slightly (after about 10-15 minutes), reduce the heat to low and add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir well.

Step 4

Add the golden raisins to the saucepan, mixing them into the pudding. Let the mixture continue to cook on low heat for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk the egg and Greek yogurt together until smooth.

Step 6

Temper the egg mixture by adding a small spoonful of the warm rice pudding to the bowl while whisking continuously. Repeat this process with 2-3 more spoonfuls until the egg mixture is warmed.

Step 7

Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture into the saucepan, stirring constantly to ensure it incorporates evenly and doesn’t curdle.

Step 8

Cook the pudding on low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until it reaches a creamy consistency.

Step 9

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding cool slightly. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 10

Serve warm or chilled. Sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon before serving, if desired.
