    Rice desserts

    So my boys LOVE rice, rice, rice!

    I want to make some rice pudding etc for desserts as they are nice hot and cold.

    They love creamed rice out of a can but it freaks me out. So I woul love to make them myself and know they are a bit healthier!

    Any suggestions/ recipes ?

    My MIL has a great, quick recipe but I don't have it on me. I'll see if I can source it

    Oh goodie!
    I find that rice puddings are old skool these days, just like bread and butter pudding.
    I do love the oldies and goodies!

    This one is good too:

    1 litre milk
    1/4 tsp salt
    3/4 cup medium grain rice
    1/2 cup caster sugar
    1 tsp vanilla essence
    nutmeg to serve

    Place milk, rice and salt in saucepan and bring to the boil over a medium/high heat.

    Once boiling, reduce to low heat and cook for 20 mins, stirring every 3-4 mins.

    Add sugar and vanilla, bring back to the boil and cook for a further 2 minutes or until the mixture thickens.

    Sprinkle nutmeg and serve

    Delicious

    Thanks Jaycee! They all seem to have the same sort of ingredients which is great.
    I am thinking of maybe adding some dried fruit to it as well. See how that goes.

    Does anyone have any baked Rice pudding recipes that are easy peasy?

    Sorry couldn't find MIL's recipe but looks as though you've got a few (her's looks much like those).

    I didn't even know you could do a baked rice pudding? So can't help you there sorry!

    I do a make-it-up-as-you-go-along rice pudding then add rosewater and ground cardamom at the end, for a middle-eastern/indian spin. Just divine.

    FWIW short grain or arborio rice always works the best.

    Mine is pretty simple, my mum's good old english recipe

    Heat oven to 200c
    In a baking dish cover bottom with a thin layer of rice
    then add water to just cover rice
    Put in oven until water is absorbed
    Mix in Milk, Caster Sugar (to taste - if it needs more it can be added when cooked), sprinkle either cinnamon on nutmeg on top
    add a couple of teaspoons of butter (don't as me why it's what my mum does)
    Put back in oven and cook until milk absorbed into rice to consistancy you like.

    I will also periodically mix the rice pudding during cooking to mix in the spice and to also remove any skin that has started to form on the top of the rice pudding.

    Generally takes about 30-40 mins to cook, and using Full Cream Milk makes the rice pudding more creamier (makes sense lol)

    My dad loves to put jam in his when it's cooked, but you could add any type of fruit or fruit puree as well.

    Sticky rice with Mango (this one is for summer when the mangoes are cheap but you could use tinned or even substitute another tropical fruit).

    Ingredients:

    1 cup Thai Sweet Rice (also called 'sticky rice' OR 'glutinous rice', available at Asian food stores
    1-2 ripe mangos, cut into bite-size pieces
    4-5 Tbsp. palm sugar OR brown sugar
    1/4 tsp. salt
    1 can good-quality (thick) coconut milk
    water (for boiling or steaming the rice)

    Preparation:


    Soak the rice in 1 cup water for 20-30 minutes, OR up to 4 hours.
    Do not drain the rice. Simply add 3/4 cup (more) water, plus 1/4 can coconut milk, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1 Tbsp. brown sugar. Stir this into the rice.
    Bring to a gentle boil, then partially cover with a lid (leaving some room for steam to escape). Reduce heat to medium-low.
    Simmer in this way for 20 minutes, or until the coconut-water has been absorbed by the rice. Turn off the heat, but leave the pot on the burner with the lid on tight. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes.
    To make the sauce, warm (do not boil) the rest of the can of coconut milk over medium-low heat (5 minutes). Add 3 Tbsp. sugar, stirring to dissolve.
    Taste-test the sauce for sweetness, adding more sugar if desired. (note that it will taste less sweet when added to the rice).
    To assemble, place a few 'mounds' of sticky rice in each serving bowl. Top with slices of teh mango, then pour sauce over. It should look like an English pudding with custard sauce, with the mounds of rice swimming in sauce.
    OR, here's another method that results in even more coconut-ty flavor (optional): Add scoops of rice (portion out 1 scoop per person) directly to the sauce pot and stir over low heat, gently breaking apart large lumps, but leaving smaller lumps/chunks). Now add the mango pieces and gently stir until everything is warmed through. Portion out into serving bowls, making sure everyone has equal amounts of rice, mango, and plenty of sauce. ENJOY!

    Toasted sesame seeds to garnish.
