Rice Pudding Revamped
I don’t even remember what recipe caused me to purchase instant rice. Its texture and taste make a terrible side dish compared to any other variety. We did choose a generic brand but I don’t think Minute Rice would be much better. At least the company’s website offered the simple pudding recipe my mother made on occasion.
This presentation is far prettier than mine...
As my title indicates, I changed things up. Instead of using processed sugar I doubled the raisins. And I replaced half the recommended amount of vanilla with orange blossom water. It’s excellent! In future I might not reduce the vanilla and maybe add an equal amount of the blossom water.
Is rice pudding something you’ve eaten and enjoy? Are you familiar with the fabulous Indian dessert kheer?
Dearest Darla, Yes, my entire family including husband Pieter's side LOVE rice pudding. Too bad that I am no longer allowed to have dairy products... Your addition of orange blossom water sounds yummy. I made mine with apricots and whipped cream... Hugs, Mariette
I don't think I've ever tried rice pudding. For rice, I buy the frozen that I can just put in the microwave for when I want rice. It's easy. (I used to have a rice cooker, but that's packed away someplace.)
Well, my dad says he remembers being forced to eat rice pudding when he was a kid and it making him gag. I think I hear him throwing up now watching me type this...
Not a fan of rice pudding. You had a nice twist on the recipe. I might like yours
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week, Darla. Big hug. ♥
I wish you could come over. :D Hugs, my dear.

I'm sorry you can no longer enjoy dairy. Maybe there's a substitute you can eat. Hugs, my dear.

ReplyDeleteThat is easy. :D Our usual method is simple but takes a while yet worth the wait.
DeleteI love rice pudding and I haven't had it for years. I've eaten a lot of Indian deserts but I don't remember the name kheer.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to enjoy rice pudding again sometime. Be well!
DeleteI have never had it, but it sounds good. XO
ReplyDeleteOh, you should try it sometime. Hugs, my dear.
DeleteI haven't had rice pudding in years but I always liked it.
ReplyDelete:D

ReplyDeleteOh, no! I hope he doesn't hack up a hairball.
DeleteI'll have to try rice pudding. I'm not a big rice fan, unless refried.
ReplyDeleteI do like it in Asian cuisine. :) If you try this I hope you enjoy.
