Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your rice pudding will be. Use fresh lemons, real butter, and high-quality rice.
  • Don't overcook the rice: The rice should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will make the pudding mushy.
  • Let the rice pudding cool slightly before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the pudding to thicken up.
  • Serve the rice pudding with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include sliced almonds, whipped cream, and fresh berries.

Conclusion:

Lemon and almond rice pudding is a classic dessert that's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. It's the perfect way to use up leftover rice, and it's a great make-ahead dessert. Whether you serve it warm or cold, with toppings or without, this rice pudding is sure to be a hit.
