This delicious dessert calls for honey instead of white sugar but still delivers a sweet, yummy taste. Cinnamon raisin rice pudding is the perfect dessert for a holiday meal or anytime you crave a great dish.
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 4 cup 1% low-fat milk
- 1 12 ounce can low-fat evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1 stick of cinnamon
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ground cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- Combine the rice and 2 cups of water in a large saucepan.
- Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until most of the water is absorbed but the rice is still a little wet, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add 3 cups of the milk, the evaporated milk, honey, raisins and cinnamon and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the rice is very soft and most of the liquid is absorbed, but the mixture is still quite wet, 20-25 minutes.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and stir in the remaining 1 cup of milk and the vanilla.
- Transfer to a container and eat warm or chill completely, for 4-6 hours.
- Mixture will thicken as it cools. Stir well before serving, garnished with a sprinkling of ground cinnamon.
