Notes

Smart Shopping Tips
  • Short or medium grain rice is typically used for rice pudding, as it gives a creamier texture. This recipe uses brown rice which is a more nutritious whole grain.
  • Any type of dried fruit may be used in place of raisins.
Cooking & Serving Tips:
  • Rice pudding is a great way to use up leftover rice. If you don’t have leftover rice, you can cook the rice for this recipe beforehand. Rice pudding works best with rice that is very tender, so when cooking the rice for this recipe, use 1/2 cup extra water and cook until all of the water is absorbed.
  • This recipe could also be made on the stove. Simply combine all of the ingredients in a sauce pan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes or until the mixture is thick and creamy.
