Bibo’s Best Rice Pudding

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked rice
  • 4 1/2 cups milk (dairy or non, see Note)
  • 1/4 – 1/3 cup sugar, honey, maple syrup, or a combo
  • pinch salt
  • optional: raisins/dried fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg, a pat of butter, vanilla

Instructions

  • Combine cooked rice, milk, sweetener, and salt in a medium pot. Stir well.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  • As soon as it boils, lower heat to a low, gentle simmer.
  • Cook, stirring every few minutes, until it’s creamy and thick, about 45 minutes. (If you used brown rice, it may take up to 60 minutes.)
  • If you want to add dried fruit and/or spices, stir them in during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  • If you want to add butter and/or vanilla, stir it in during the last minute of cooking.
  • Serve warm, at room temp, or cold.
  • Note: Lowfat milk is fine, but skim will give a grainy texture.
