I have made this recipe several times and usually substitute fat-free or 1% milk. I also have made it without raisens and adding vanilla and a cinnamon stick instead of the orange zest. Excellent and easy every time!

This is the easiest way to make rice pudding and, Wow, so tasty. The only thing I did different was I added 1 tsp orange extract and omitted the orange zest. I thought it would have been runny because of all the liquid in this recipe, but it was not runny at all. I will make this one again and again. Thanks for sharing Syd.
