How to Make Berry Rice Pudding
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups water, 1 cup milk, and 1/2 cup uncooked long-grain rice.
- Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove the lid and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg yolk, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until light and frothy.
- Gradually whisk about 1 cup of the hot rice mixture into the egg yolk mixture to temper it. Pour the tempered mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining rice mixture.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding gently thickens (about 3-4 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest.
- Cover the saucepan and let the pudding cool completely to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill thoroughly.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar using an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of your favorite sliced berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.).
- Spoon the rice pudding into 8 sherbet glasses or small bowls.
- Top with the meringue mixture and cover. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the meringue to set.
- Garnish with extra lemon zest and fresh berries before serving.
