Microwave Rice Pudding

Chef Bonham's Note:

I LOVE LOVE LOVE rice pudding and this is one of my favorite! Thanks to my mother in law. Guaranteed not to scorch or curdle! I always add some cinnamon and/or nutmeg to mine but my husband loves it as is! I use leftover rice.

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 0 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1/2-3/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups milk
• 1 egg
• 2 -3 cups rice (I use Jasmine!)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

1. Make sure the rice is cooked ahead of time.
2. Whisk first 6 ingredients.
3. Put in microwave and cook 1 - 1 1/2 minutes.
4. Remove and whisk.
5. Put back in microwave for another 1 - 1 1/2 minutes.
6. Remove and whisk.
7. Continue above steps until desired thickness (don't get too thick, you want it a little less thick than desired since it will continue to thicken as it sits).
8. Add butter and vanilla once it's at desired thickness. You can omit butter to save on calories!
9. Add anything else you want (cinnamon, nutmeg, etc).
10. Enjoy!

This is a quick and easy way to make rice pudding!! I added raisins and sprinkled it with cinnamon. Thanks for a great recipe!

This has good flavor, and is quick to make. I used brown rice and added cinnamon and nutmeg. I added raisins in the very beginning and it made them nice and plump. Will use less than the minimum sugar next time too. The texture was a little weird, but that may be because I used nonfat milk (similar to how instant pudding just isn't quite the same). Still delicious and will make again!

This recipe is just wonderful. When I made 3 more cups of rice than I needed, I tried this and my family loved it. Sprinked with cinnamon, I was in heaven. Its a definite keeper. Thank you.
