Thea's Easy Rice Pudding With Dried Cherries or Raisins

This is a super easy recipe! I DO NOT include rice cooking time in the prep/cooking time. I use Mirj's Foolproof Microwave Rice - Perfect Every Time! Mirj's Foolproof Microwave Rice-Perfect Every Time recipe! It works if you follow exactly! I make it with either the cherries or the raisins...each is a winner in my book!!!

• Ready In: 55 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 2  cups cooked rice
• 1⁄2 cup sugar
• 2  eggs, slightly beaten
• 2  cups light coconut milk
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 3⁄4 cup dried cherries (or raisins...or more if you like!)
• 1  dash cinnamon
• 2  dashes nutmeg

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place rice in a bowl, add all the ingredients, stir to mix. Pour into a greased baking dish or pan ( i use a 9x9) Bake 25 mins- 45 mins -- I check after the first 20 mins -- and stir -- then i check every 10 mins and stir because i don't like mine too much like custard -- so remove when it's your desired consistency -- then i sprinkle a bit more nutmeg on the top! I love mine cold but some of my family likes it warm -- and with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on top lol! It's yummy!
