BAKED RICE PUDDING WITH APRICOTS



Baked Rice Pudding with Apricots image

There are many ways to make rice pudding: on the stove, baked in the oven or a combination of the two. You can make the custard separate from the rice and combine them after and it can be so many different kinds of custards. The nice thing about a baked one is you can make it the night before to enjoy for a special breakfast the next day. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon if you like.

RICE PUDDING WITH DRIED APRICOTS



Rice Pudding With Dried Apricots image

This recipe was in BHG November 2007 and is a Sandra Lee Semi Homemade recipe. Really good and easy, my favorite combination, lol. I have also made the pudding with Sun Maid Fruit Bits instead of the dried apricots. This uses 2 pouches Success Rice, but the computer does not recognize this ingredient.

  • Use whole milk or half and half. This will give the rice pudding a richer flavor and creamier texture.
  • Add sugar to taste. The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal preference. If you like your rice pudding sweet, add more sugar. If you prefer a less sweet pudding, add less sugar.
  • Stir the rice pudding frequently. This will prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Cover the rice pudding while it is cooking. This will help the pudding to cook evenly.
  • Let the rice pudding cool slightly before serving. This will make it easier to scoop and serve.

Rice pudding is a classic dessert that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy texture and sweet flavor, rice pudding is the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give rice pudding a try.
