Rice Pudding

[NANBOS]

Does anyone have a recipe for low fat rice pudding?

This is a rice pudding that I like:

Cook 1/2 cup of arborio rice in about 3/4 cup of water (bring water to a boil first, then add rice, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for about 15 minutes). Meanwhile, heat 3 to 4 cups of milk, 1/3 cup of sugar, and 1 tsp of cornstarch and a pinch of salt (do not boil). When the rice is ready, add the hot milk mixture (you can add raisins if you wish), cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the rice is thick (anywhere from 1-2 hrs). Add a little vanilla at the end. Using a heavy bottomed pan is best to avoid scorching. Great warm or cold. I like it for breakfast too.

This is a Cooking Light Recipe:

Rice Pudding


If you want a more traditional rice pudding, omit
the amaretto and almond extract, and increase the
vanilla extract to 1 tablespoon. Also, you'll need an
extra 1/4 cup of water.

8 cups 2% reduced-fat milk

1 cup sugar

2 tablespoons butter or stick margarine

1 1/2 cups uncooked long-grain rice

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1/2 cup golden raisins

1/4 cup amaretto (almond-flavored liqueur) or 1/4
cup water and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 (8-ounce) carton low-fat sour cream

Ground cinnamon (optional)




Combine first 3 ingredients in a heavy Dutch
oven; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat
(about 15 minutes). Stir in rice and salt; reduce
heat to medium, and cook 45 minutes or until rice
is tender. Stir occasionally, about every 5 to 10
minutes initially, and then as pudding begins to
thicken, watch and stir every few minutes to
prevent sticking. Do not boil. Place egg in a bowl;
gradually add 1 cup hot rice mixture to egg, stirring
constantly with a whisk. Return egg mixture to
pan; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add
raisins, amaretto, vanilla, and sour cream; stir well.
Sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired. Yield: 12
servings (serving size: 3/4 cup).
