Provided by Food Network

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup uncooked white rice
1/2 cup dried cherries that have been rehydrated in 1/4 cup warm brandy
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Combine the milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a heavy pot. Slowly bring the mixture just to the boil over medium heat, being careful not to scorch the milk. Reduce the heat to low, add the rice, and cook at a low simmer for 1 hour, uncovered and stirring occasionally, or until the rice is thoroughly cooked and creamy. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cherries and the sugar and cool as quickly as possible. Refrigerate until completely cold.
  • Whip the heavy cream into stiff peaks with an electric mixer. Using a spatula, fold the cream into the chilled pudding, spoon into pudding cups, and serve immediately or refrigerate until needed.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup long-grain white rice
3 cups 1% fat milk
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/3 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup dried tart cherries

Steps:

  • Bring water with salt to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan and stir in rice. Cover pan and reduce heat to low, then cook until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Stir in milk and sugar and cook over very low heat, covered, until mixture resembles a thick soup, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Whisk together egg, egg whites, vanilla, cardamom, and a pinch of salt. Whisk about 1 cup hot rice mixture into egg mixture, then stir mixture into remaining rice. Cook over low heat (do not let boil), whisking constantly, until an instant-read thermometer registers 170°F, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in raisins and cherries.
  • Transfer pudding to a 2-quart dish or 6 (8-ounce) ramekins and chill, its surface covered with wax paper, until cool but not cold, 1 to 2 hours.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your rice pudding. Look for organic, whole-grain rice and fresh, plump dried cherries.
  • Don't overcook the rice: The rice should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. If you overcook the rice, it will become mushy.
  • Let the rice pudding cool slightly before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to thicken.
  • Serve the rice pudding with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include fresh fruit, nuts, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Dried cherry rice pudding is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed all year round. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try!
