Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 3 cups milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the cooked brown rice, 2 1/2 cups of the milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat while stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 25-30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of milk and the egg until well combined.
Slowly pour the egg mixture into the saucepan while stirring constantly to avoid curdling.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring until the pudding thickens further.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, butter, and raisins (if using). Mix well until the butter is melted and everything is combined.
Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. You can serve it warm or refrigerate it for later and serve chilled.
Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
