Rice Pudding Light image

A lighter version of rice pudding that my family enjoys. When I am craving my grandmother's rice pudding, but don't want the fat, I make this version.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup water
1 cup short-grain rice (long grain will not work) or 1 cup medium grain rice (long grain will not work)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 cups skim milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar, to taste
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, to taste

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a heavy 3 quart saucepan.
  • Stir in raw rice and butter, cooking, uncovered, over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until water is absorbed and rice looks creamy.
  • Stir in milk and a small pinch of salt.
  • Bring to just a boil over medium high heat, stirring and watching your pot like a hawk so it doesn't burn or boil over -- the second it starts to bubble, remove from heat.
  • Reduce temperature to low, and return pan to the heat to cook, covered, about 30-50 minutes, stirring occasionally (cook less for creamier, softer pudding, longer for firmer pudding).
  • Stir in sugar to taste and vanilla.
  • Pour into serving cups or bowl, dust with some cinnamon or freshly grated nutmeg, and chill well.
