Ultimate Rice Pudding image

Better Homes and Garden's says that this is the "ultimate" and I agree! I LOVE rice pudding and most times it is creamy until it's refrigerated. This one makes a separate custard sauce that you fold in before serving. Prep. time is the cooking time. Allow 4 hours to chill.
