Recipe Tips

For a creamier texture, you can use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice for extra flavor. If you prefer a sweeter pudding, you can increase the amount of sugar to 3/4 cup. This recipe is also great for using up leftover rice. Just substitute 2 cups of cooked rice for the uncooked rice and water, and follow the recipe as written. Enjoy!
