Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 can (21 oz) Cherry pie filling
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tablespoons (melted) Unsalted butter
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x9-inch glass dish or similar-sized pan to create the base layer.
In a large saucepan, combine the cooked rice, whole milk, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes creamy and thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Set aside.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Once the rice mixture has cooled, spread it evenly over the graham cracker crust as the first layer.
Next, spoon the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture evenly on top of the rice layer, smoothing it with a spatula.
Spread the cherry pie filling over the cream layer as the final layer. Make sure it is evenly distributed.
Top the dessert with the remaining whipped cream and garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy this creamy, fruity, and indulgent no-bake dessert!
