I have not tried this recipe. I'm posting this recipe for safe keeping. I got this recipe from, From Babas' Kitchen To Ours.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄4 cups Minute Rice
• 1 1⁄4 cups boiling water
• 3⁄8 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 cup  whipping cream, whipped
• 1⁄4 cup sugar

• 1⁄2 teaspoon  almond extract
• 1 1⁄2 cups milk

Directions

1. In a heavy pot pour the boiling water over the rice and salt. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover and let stand until all the water is absorbed. Stir in 1 1/2 cups milk, sugar and butter and cook over very low heat for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, soften gelatin for 5 minutes in the 3 tablespoons milk. Add to cooked rice mixture, stirring until dissolved. Remove from heat, add almond extract and cool. Chill until it begins to set.
2. Fold in whipped cream and pour into a serving bowl. Chill thoroughly. Carefully spoon pie filling over top and chill again.
