How to Make Everyday Foods Lightened Rice Pudding
- In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup of uncooked long-grain rice and 5 cups of skim milk.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover partially, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed (approximately 15-17 minutes).
- While the rice simmers, whisk together ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom (or cinnamon), and 1 cup skim milk in a medium bowl.
- Gradually pour the egg mixture into the simmering rice mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
- Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens and coats the back of a spoon (approximately 3-5 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup raisins (or substitute with ½ cup chopped pistachios or dried apricots).
- Pour the pudding into a 6-quart casserole dish or large bowl.
- Let cool to room temperature.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
- Serve chilled or warmed gently. Garnish with additional raisins and a sprinkle of cardamom (or your preferred spice).
