This is one of my daughter Didi's favorite kugels. She's a cereal freak, loves anything made out of cereal. What's really great about this kugel is that no one will think that it's been made out of Snap, Crackle and Pop (may they rest in peace).

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups cooked rice
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 1/2 heavy cream
3/4 cup raisins
1 large banana, sliced
1 mango, diced
1 apple, peeled and chopped
1/8 teaspoon salt
5 eggs, well beaten
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
coconut flakes

Steps:

  • Add all of the ingredients and mix well.
  • Put in well greased casserole dish.
  • Cover and bake for for 1 hour at 350°F, mixing half way through.
  • Top with additional cinnamon, sugar, and coconut flakes to taste last 15 minutes (uncovered).

Tips:

  • Use medium-grain or short-grain rice for the best texture. Long-grain rice will not hold together as well.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove the starch and prevent it from becoming sticky.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to cook the rice. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from burning.
  • Bring the rice and water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
  • Let the rice cool slightly before adding the eggs, butter, and sugar.
  • If you are using a food processor to blend the rice mixture, be sure to do it in batches so that the mixture does not become too thick.
  • Bake the rice kugel in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  • Let the rice kugel cool slightly before serving.
