Hello, this is Dan Bucci Sodexo Dietetic Intern performing a food demo at the Benjamin Moore Headquarters in Montvale, New Jersey. I made 2 varieties of homemade rice pudding for the clients. One was fat free and the other was low fat (2% milk). I asked the clients to assess the products for taste, appearance, consistency and overall acceptance. I was pleased to hear that they enjoyed the product and ultimately enjoyed the 2%-low fat rice pudding recipe the best.
Make sure you take your time with this recipe. If you forget to stir, it will burn to the pan so make sure you are actively watching it. Below are the nutrition labels for this refreshing dessert. Making rice pudding from scratch can be easy. You need, milk (of your choice), arborio rice, sugar and vanilla. Heat up your pot with milk, dissolve the sugar, add the rice and vanilla, then be patient. Keep the heat at a constant temperature where the milk is lightly simmering. Do not use a lid to ensure that some of the milk is evaporating off to help condense the rice and milk mixture. Don’t forget to stir frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan. After about an an hour and ten minutes your rice pudding should be nice and thick. Place in the freezer or blast chiller to bring down to proper temperature. This will also help the pudding thicken prior to being served. Serve chilled, add a pinch of cinnamon if desired and enjoy.
