Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup arborio rice (see tips, below)
1/4 cup dried cherries (see tips)
2 tablespoons ground almonds
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 pinch salt
4 cups milk (see tips)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
toasted sliced almonds (optional)
whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • In prepared slow cooker greased stoneware, mix together sugar, rice, cherries, almonds, lemon zest and salt.
  • Whisk together milk, eggs and almond extract, and stir into rice mixture.
  • Cover and cook on high for 4 hours, until rice is tender and pudding is set.
  • Serve warm, garnished with toasted almonds and whipped cream, if desired. Serves 6.
  • TIPS:.
  • Long-grain white rice can be successfully used in this recipe, but the pudding will not be as creamy as one made with arborio rice.
  • Use 1 cup fresh, pitted cherries in place of the dried cherries, if desired. Or substitute an equal quantity of dried cranberries, instead.
  • For a rich pudding, use half milk and half cream.
