Whip up this rich rice pudding when you're craving a less traditional dessert. Feel free to play around with the spices and flavorings to find your favorite combination. Ingredients:
8 cups 2% reduced-fat milk |
1 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons butter or stick margarine |
1 1/2 cups uncooked long-grain rice |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 large egg |
1/2 cup golden raisins |
1/4 cup amaretto (almond-flavored liqueur) or 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 (8-ounce) carton low-fat sour cream |
ground cinnamon (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a heavy Dutch oven; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat (about 15 minutes). Stir in rice and salt; reduce heat to medium, and cook 45 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir occasionally, about every 5 to 10 minutes initially, and then as pudding begins to thicken, watch and stir every few minutes to prevent sticking. Do not boil. Place egg in a bowl; gradually add 1 cup hot rice mixture to egg, stirring constantly with a whisk. Return egg mixture to pan; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add raisins, amaretto, vanilla, and sour cream; stir well. Sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired.
