WORLDS BEST SOUTHERN RICE PUDDING



Worlds Best Southern Rice Pudding image

This makes old fashioned southern rice pudding into something decadent. When I make this, I sometimes serve it with a strawberry or raspberry sauce...helps to cut the richness while at the same time adding those calories we all need so much :p I sometimes double this & in my household of 7, it lasts one full day tops. The Southern U.S. grows and eats a LOT of rice and recipes like this are much loved down here.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality rice. The type of rice you use will have a big impact on the final flavor and texture of your rice pudding. Choose a short-grain rice, such as Arborio or Carnaroli, which will absorb the milk and sugar and become creamy and tender.
  • Cook the rice slowly. Don't rush the cooking process. Slowly simmering the rice in milk will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Use whole milk. Whole milk will give your rice pudding a richer, creamier flavor. If you're using low-fat or skim milk, you may need to add some butter or cream to give it a richer flavor.
  • Sweeten the rice pudding to your taste. The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Add flavorings. You can add a variety of flavorings to your rice pudding, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, or raisins. Get creative and experiment with different flavors to find your perfect combination.
  • Serve the rice pudding warm or cold. Rice pudding can be served warm or cold. If you're serving it warm, let it cool slightly before serving. If you're serving it cold, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

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, it's a perfect way to end a meal or satisfy a sweet craving. So next time you're looking for a delicious and comforting dessert, give rice pudding a try. You won't be disappointed!
