Time 9h35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups water
1 cup arborio rice
3 cups reduced-fat (2%) milk
1 cup solid-pack pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
3/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for garnish
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375F.
  • Bring the water to a boil in an ovenproof 4-quart saucepan. Stir in the rice and cover. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the rice is nearly cooked, about 20 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
  • While the rice is still hot, add the pumpkin mixture to the saucepan and stir well to combine. Cover and transfer to the oven. Bake until the liquid has reduced by about a third and the mixture is foamy and bubbling, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir well to combine all the ingredients. Transfer to a large bowl, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight. The pudding will keep for up to 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

This is one of my absolute favorite rice puddings. It tastes exactly like pumpkin pie and makes a really great breakfast dish! Try it with cooked brown rice and substitute dried cranberries for the raisins, if desired.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 quarts water
1 cup Arborio rice
4 cups skim milk
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1 pinch salt
⅓ cup white sugar
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup raisins
ground cinnamon, for garnish

Steps:

BAKED PUMPKIN RICE PUDDING



Baked Pumpkin Rice Pudding image

Simple and delicious comfort food. This came from a Kraft cookbook, Best Ever Holiday Recipe Collection. Beautiful cookbook and full of great recipes, lots of popular name brand recipes. This appears to be a recipe full of possibilities, as far as options go. Soy milk instead of regular milk, brown rice instead of white, Splenda instead of sugar, are some of the changes I am considering. I think adding some raisins would be good, too. I think this tastes best, chilled. My son is not a vegetable eater. This is one way to get a vegetable into him, along with some vitamin A.

Time 1h

Yield 14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups milk
1 (16 ounce) can pumpkin
1 cup MINUTE White Rice, uncooked
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Combine milk, pumpkin, rice, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt and cloves to a boil in a large saucepan.
  • Stir mixture constantly.
  • Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove pan from heat.
  • Beat eggs and vanilla in a large bowl. Slowly stir in hot pumpkin mixture, blending well after each addition. (This lowers the temperature of the mixture, you don't want to add it at once, because you might end up with scrambled eggs. Not very appetizing! Or just whisk some of the hot mixture into the eggs. Then pour all into the hot mixture.)
  • Pour into greased 2 quart casserole.
  • Bake at 375 F for 45 to 50 minutes or until pudding is set. Cool slightly.
  • Serve warm or refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Garnish as desired. Dollop of whipped cream, dash of cinnamon, maybe.
  • Put leftovers in the refrigerator.

BROWN RICE PUMPKIN PUDDING



Brown Rice Pumpkin Pudding image

Using brown rice creates an additional nuttiness to this dessert, while the dried fruit, chopped pecans, and ice cream add wonderful taste and texture making this dessert very festive. You can use any dried fruit, just chop into smaller pieces if large fruit such as dried apricots, prunes, apples, etc. NOTE: I used a heavy non-stick 2qt pot, and medium-low on my stove is a 3.

BRULEED BANANA AND PUMPKIN RICE PUDDING



Bruleed Banana and Pumpkin Rice Pudding image

Just in time for the fall, this easy recipe for rice pudding includes that one ingredient I crave all year long: pumpkin! This quick rice pudding doesn't just taste great--it looks great, too, with its creamy not-to-sweet orange-colored rice, plump raisins and topping of caramelized bananas, aka bruléed bananas. It will make you look like a pro chef just in time for the holidays.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup short-grain white rice (I used sushi rice)
2 cups whole milk
1 cup canned unsweetened pure pumpkin puree
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup raisins
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 stick Mexican cinnamon
Pinch kosher salt
2 bananas, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

Steps:

  • Combine the rice and 1 1/2 cups water in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until most of the water is absorbed and the rice is mostly cooked through but still has a bite to it, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the milk, pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, raisins, vanilla, cinnamon stick and salt. Let the mixture reach a steady simmer and maintain that steady simmer through completion of the recipe.
  • When the rice finishes cooking in the microwave, add it and any remaining liquid to the simmering milk mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is completely tender and the pudding thickens, 12 to 14 minutes. Slow, large bubbles will rise to the top towards the end of cooking.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat, discard the cinnamon stick and divide the pudding between six 6-ounce broiler-proof ramekins. Refrigerate until completely cool, about 30 minutes. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.
  • When ready to serve, arrange a rack in the top position of the oven and heat the broiler on high (see Cook's Note).
  • Place a single layer of sliced bananas on top of each pudding. Evenly sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over the top of each pudding. Broil until the sugar forms a hard, caramel layer, about 30 seconds, checking every 10 seconds. Serve.

CREAMY PUMPKIN RICE PUDDING



Creamy Pumpkin Rice Pudding image

Even though the phrase "leftover pumpkin" doesn't exist in my household, most people often wonder what to do with the leftover pumpkin after making a pumpkin pie. I like to make this tasty, simple, and quick dessert when I have a huge can of pumpkin I haven't completely gone through. Whole milk and cinnamon rice milk really work best for this recipe, but some tasty variations that really add to this pudding's richness are vanilla rice or soy milk, and Silk Pumpkin Pie flavored soy milk (which is only seasonal, I wish it was available year-round! And is it just me or does Silk Pumpkin Pie Soymilk taste just like Silk Nog that's available around Christmas, only they package it differently? So if you're making it around Christmas, use Silk Nog!) This awesome dessert is great for parties and potlucks, it travels and freezes well, and was a big hit at my sister's Halloween party! Both the kids and adults loved it. (Note: Prep time does not include cooling time.)

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 6 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup white rice (white rice is optimal, but I used long-grain yellow in this last time and it came out just as tasty,)
2 cups water
2 1/2 cups milk (or a milk variant I mentioned above, or one you like)
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or, 1/4 tsp each ground allspice and ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg but I'm too lazy for that)

Steps:

  • Rinse the rice, and cook it according to instructions (but don't add oil/butter, greasy rice will mess up this recipe) or just add the 2 cups water to a saucepan with the rice and simmer it for 15-20 minutes until fluffy. I think microwaving the rice (please check your brand of rice's instructions) will also work if you're in a hurry but I've only done it the stovetop way so far.
  • Don't rinse or drain the fluffy rice! It kills the nutrients and will also be hard to stir after this.
  • Add the milk, or milk variant, and stir it in well. Then add the applesauce and meld it perfectly.
  • Let the mixture simmer over medium heat until it thickens.
  • Add the pumpkin, mix thoroughly. Then add the sugar and spice.
  • Stir and let it cook until the rice is soft.
  • Pour into a large heatproof bowl/container, or individual serving ramekins/bowls, and let it chill for at least 2-3 hours before serving.
  • For presentation, garnish with cinnamon sticks or fresh mint leaves.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice. Short-grain rice, such as Arborio or Carnaroli, is best for rice pudding because it cooks up creamy and tender.
  • Use full-fat milk. The fat in the milk will help to create a rich and creamy pudding.
  • Don't overcook the rice. Rice pudding should be cooked until the rice is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Add the pumpkin puree and spices gradually. This will help to prevent the pudding from curdling.
  • Serve the rice pudding warm or cold. Rice pudding can be served warm, at room temperature, or cold. It is also delicious topped with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or nuts.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin rice pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree, and it is also a good source of fiber and vitamins. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give pumpkin rice pudding a try!
