Barb, Here is my family traditional recipe Creamy Rice Custard

Creamy Rice Custard

"This old-fashioned dessert is easy to make. I like to process all of the rice for a thick,. rich custard that tastes like it has cooked for hours."


In a large (about 4-quart) heavy saucepan, cook over high heat until it boils

1/2 cup regular or parboiled rice
1-1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt

Turn heat to low. Let it settle down, and then cover and cook for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the rice is tender and almost all the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat, but leave covered. In a side bowl, beat until smooth

4 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1-1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Gradually stir in

2 cups half-and-half

Uncover the pot. Stir some of the hot rice into the beaten egg mixture and then stir the combined mixture into the pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, just until thickened. Once it starts, it thickens quickly. Remove from heat often and lift the spoon to check. The next step is optional: Pour about half of the custard into a food processor. Process until smooth, or until the rice is a fine texture. Stir the processed custard back into the pot. Process all the custard, if you prefer the smoother texture. Pour into serving dishes. Serve warm or cold. Be sure to refrigerate leftovers.

Makes 6 servings.

I just bought the vanilla pods to try the rice pudding at 16093.

I think it looks delicious. Does that one interest you?
