Best Rich Rice Pudding Recipes

RICH VEGAN KHEER (INDIAN RICE PUDDING)

Steps:

• Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Pour rice milk over the rice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium and add coconut milk, soy creamer, sugar, and cardamom. Bring back to a boil. Reduce heat to low once again and simmer until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in raisins and pistachios. Adjust flavoring and sugar to desired strength and serve hot or cold.

VINTAGE CREAMY RICH RICE PUDDING (PRESSURE COOKER)

Steps:

• 1. Add milk and butter to pressure cooker. Turn on browning/warming plate and heat until milk is warm and butter has melted stirring occasionally.
• 2. Add rice and salt. Stir. Cover pressure cooker and lock. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
• 3. Release pressure, uncover and add raisins, vanilla and sugar. With power off, cover and allow to sit for 15-20 minutes. Raisins will plump and sauce will become rich and creamy. I enjoy mine plain, allowing the vanilla flavor to shine through, but feel free to customize as you wish. I don't like to add the cinnamon to the pudding because I don't think it looks as nice, and each person in our home likes it served a little differently. Enjoy!

RICH RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• If using the currants, soak them in the rum in a small bowl.
• Place the half-and-half, rice, sugar, salt, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, continuing to stir.
• Drain the currants and stir them into the pudding, then cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the rice is al dente. Spoon the pudding into bowls and serve immediately, or spread it into a serving dish, cover, and chill. Press plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent it from forming a skin (unless you like it!).
• Serve pudding in a bowl along with slices of fresh plums.

RICH RISOTTO RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine the rice, milk, sugar, vanilla bean, cinnamon, and salt in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat and stir to combine.
• Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring every 5 minutes as the mixture starts to thicken, for about 30 minutes.
• Continue cooking until the rice is tender but not too mushy, about 15 minutes longer. The milk will be thick and the rice tender, but the mixture will still be a little soupy, which is what you want. (As pudding cools, it thickens, and if it is too thick while still hot, it will firm up into a thick stodgy lump without the unctuous creaminess of a great rice pudding).
• In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and cream together and stir into the rice pudding.
• Continue cooking the pudding over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, until the eggs are cooked through and pudding is creamy and glossy, but still fairly soupy.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Grate a little nutmeg (if using) into the pudding.
• Remove the vanilla bean.
• Pour the pudding into a serving bowl and press plastic wrap over the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
• Refrigerate until cold, at least 2-3 hours.
• Serve Cold.
• Note: This pudding is delicious as it is, or you can fold a dollop of whipped cream into each serving, or layer the pudding in a parfait glass with dulce de leche or caramel sauce, or just drizzle some sauce on top before serving.

R IS FOR RICH RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. Combine the rice, milk and sugar in a heavy small saucepan, cover, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
• 2. Beat the eggs with a fork in a heatproof medium bowl. Add half of the hot rice mixture and mix well to blend. Transfer that mixture back to the saucepan and stir over low heat until steaming hot but not boiling. Transfer the pudding to a food processor and process for 1 minute. (The mixture will still have texture.) Scrape the pudding into a clean bowl and chill for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, before serving. Cover any remaining pudding after it has cooled.

RICH RICE PUDDING CAKE

Steps:

• Bring the half and half, rice, brown sugar, zest (make strips with a potatoe peeler), coriander and salt to a simmer in a medium sauce pan over medium heat and stirring frequently. Reduce the heat and cook at a bare simmer, stirring frequently for 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove the pan from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes, then discard the zest and whisk in the eggs and vanilla.
• Meanwhile, butter an 8 x 1 1/2 inch round cake pan. Heat the granulated sugar and water in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Increase the heat to high and bring the mix to a boil, wash the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush if you see any sugar crystals. Boil, without stirring but swirling the pan toward the end to even out the color, until the caramel is dark gold in color. Pour the caramel into the prepared cake pan. Let stand until cooled and hardened.
• Position a rack in the top third of the oven preheat to 350.
• Pour the rice mix into the cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 35 - 40 minutes or until the top begins to brown but the center is still slightly jiggly. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
• Run a knife around the edges of the pan. Invert the cake onto a plate, tap on the pan, and carefully remove the pan. Cut into wedges and serve.

~ CREAMY RICH RICE PUDDING ~ YUM!

Steps:

• 1. In a heavy bottomed, medium saucepan or dutch oven ( I used my cast iron dutch oven. ) over medium high heat, bring rice, water and salt to a simmer. Cover and lower heat - continue cooking & stirring until all water is absorbed. 10 - 12 minutes.
• 2. Add the cream, sugar, vanilla and milk. Stir until well combined. Whisk in the cinnamon. Simmer for 35 - 40, minutes or until just about desired thickness, making sure to stir often so as not to burn or stick.
• 3. When the pudding is just about finished, add some of the milk mixture to the egg yolk, stirring briskly to temper, quickly stir this mixture back into the rice and cook a few more minutes.
• 4. I removed mine while there was still a bit of liquid as it will be absorbed more as the pudding cools. Pour into a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap to avoid a skin forming on top of your pudding.
• 5. Chill until ready to serve. I served with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. I also thinned down some canned cherries with lemon juice & water and added a dollop for those who preferred.

RICH CHOCOLATE CHERRY BROWN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350f degrees.
• Whisk together, buttermilk, egg, honey and cocoa until smooth.
• Add cooked rice and mix well.
• Rough chop half the cherries, add to rice mixture.
• Reserve the other half of the cherries for garnish.
• Pour the rice mixture into a greased (I use butter) 8x8 inch baking dish.
• Set baking dish into a roaster or other baking dish that it will fit into and pour boiling water into the other dish so that it comes about half way up the side of the dish filled with the rice pudding.
• (I do this after I have placed it on the oven rack for safety sake).
• Use the middle oven rack.
• Bake at 350f degrees for approximately 30 minutes or until the centre of the pudding is set, also depending on how dry you like your rice pudding, adjust cooking time accordingly.
• Remove from oven and roaster and set on a rack to cool.
• When cooled, spoon into 4 to 6 dessert cups, garnish with whipped cream, whole cherries and shaved chocolate.
• (I put a couple of whole cherries and some shaved chocolate in the bottom of the dessert cup also).
• They look very nice in a wine glass or just an ordinary glass.
