Time 2h13m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup water
½ cup uncooked white long-grain rice
2 beaten egg yolks
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 pinch salt
2 ½ cups milk
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
½ cup raisins
2 egg whites
¼ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Place the water and rice into a saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir, and reduce heat to low. Cover pan, and simmer until all water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat the egg yolks together with 1/2 cup sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the cornstarch and salt. Continue beating, and gradually pour in the milk. Stir in the cooked rice, lemon juice, and raisins. Pour the rice mixture into a baking dish, and place inside a larger baking pan. Fill the larger pan with water to 1 inch up the sides of the dish containing the rice mixture.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the pudding is creamy and most of the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally. If necessary, add more water to maintain the water level.
  • Meanwhile, place the egg whites in a mixing bowl and beat until soft peaks form. Continue beating, and gradually add 1/4 cup sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form. Remove the pudding from the oven, leaving it in the larger baking dish. Top pudding with the meringue, swirling with a spoon to create soft peaks.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Bake in preheated oven until the meringue is golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm.

MERINGUE TOPPED RICE PUDDING



Meringue Topped Rice Pudding image

The key to good rice pudding is its texture. So for the best rice pudding, cook it slowly. Overcooked pudding will have the texture of a solid mass rather than the creamy mixture that makes this dessert so desirable. Long-grained rice works best; try basmati, jasmine, or popcorn rice for even more variety.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon unsalted butter, room temperature
3 cups cooked long-grain white rice
4 cups whole milk, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, separated
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup raisins
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a shallow 2-quart baking dish; set aside.
  • In a medium-size heavy-bottom saucepan, combine rice, 3 cups milk, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thick and creamy, about 30 minutes.
  • In a liquid-measuring cup, whisk together the egg yolks, remaining milk, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Stir into rice. Add raisins and cinnamon. Cook until raisins are heated through, about 2 minutes. Pour rice mixture into the prepared baking dish. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites until foamy. Increase speed to high, and gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, cream of tartar, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until stiff but not dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, spoon meringue on top of the rice, covering entirely. Transfer to the oven, and bake until the meringue is golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose a baking dish that is large enough to hold the rice pudding comfortably, allowing for it to rise and expand during baking. A 9x13 inch baking dish is a suitable size.
  • To achieve a smooth and creamy rice pudding, use short-grain rice or arborio rice. These types of rice release more starch during cooking, resulting in a thicker and creamier texture.
  • For a richer flavor, use whole milk or half-and-half instead of regular milk. You can also add a tablespoon of butter or a dash of vanilla extract to enhance the taste.
  • If you prefer a sweeter rice pudding, increase the amount of sugar or add a few tablespoons of honey or maple syrup. You can also add raisins, nuts, or other dried fruits for a touch of sweetness and texture.
  • To prevent the meringue from weeping, make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before whipping them. Also, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, which indicates that they are properly aerated and will hold their shape well.
  • Keep an eye on the rice pudding while it's baking. It should be cooked until the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened. Overcooking can result in a dry and grainy texture.

Conclusion:

Grandma's Baked Rice Pudding with Meringue is a classic dessert that combines the comforting flavors of rice, milk, and sugar with the light and airy texture of meringue. By following these tips and recommendations, you can create a delicious and visually appealing rice pudding that is sure to impress your family and friends. Whether you serve it warm or chilled, this timeless recipe is a delightful treat that is perfect for any occasion.
