Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cups Milk (low-fat or dairy-free alternative)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Butter or cooking spray (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish (about 8x8 inches) with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Gently fold in the cooked rice and raisins (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed in the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as is or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of sweetness, if desired.
