Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1–1/2 cups (360 ml) cooked rice
- 2 large eggs
- 1–1/2 cups (360 ml) whole milk
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Add-ins:
- 1/4 cup (40 g) raisins
- Extra milk for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375°F, preparing for a delightful rice pudding creation.
- Thoroughly coat a 1-quart casserole dish with a light layer of grease to prevent sticking.
- Spread rice and raisins evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, and nutmeg until smooth and well-combined.
- Gently cascade the liquid mixture over the rice and raisins, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place the uncovered dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld and transform.
- Test the pudding’s readiness by inserting a knife into the center – it should come out clean when the dish is perfectly cooked.
- Remove from oven and allow the pudding to cool and set for several minutes before serving.
- For an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle additional milk over individual servings.
- Refrigerate any remaining portions, keeping the dessert fresh for future enjoyment.
Notes
- Enhance flavor by toasting rice lightly before mixing with other ingredients for a deeper, nuttier taste profile.
- Customize sweetness by adjusting sugar levels or substituting with alternative sweeteners like honey or maple syrup for different dietary needs.
- Try milk alternatives such as almond, coconut, or oat milk to create dairy-free or vegan-friendly versions of the dish.
- Add extra texture and nutrition by incorporating chopped nuts, dried fruits, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to elevate the basic recipe.
