Apricot Orange Rice Pudding Recipes

APRICOT & ORANGE RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Put the rice, milk and nutmeg into a large microwaveable bowl. Cover with cling film, pierce it, then cook on High for 5 mins. Stir and leave to stand for 1 min, then return to the microwave for a further 5-6 mins or until the rice is cooked and all the milk absorbed. Remove from the microwave and stand for a further 2 mins.
• Put the honey, apricots and orange juice into another microwaveable bowl and cook on High for 1 min until the apricots have plumped up. Stir the syrupy apricots, fromage frais and a pinch of orange zest into the rice. Serve straight away in bowls, topped with a sprinkling of almonds, a little more orange zest and a drizzle of honey to taste.

APRICOT RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a covered heavy saucepan, bring the rice, milk, apricots, vanilla scrapings and lemon zest to a simmer over medium heat. Immediately reduce the heat to as low as possible, cover tightly, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the rice is very tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn off the heat. Stir the egg yolks into the cooked rice mixture and stir just until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the sugar. Pour the rice pudding into ramekins or dessert cups and let cool. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or until ready to serve, up to 24 hours. Serve with whipped cream.

CREAMY APRICOT RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil over high heat in a saucepan. Stir in your rice. Then, turn down the heat, cover the pan and let simmer for 20 minutes.
• When the rice is done, put it in a clean saucepan with 1 1/2 cups milk, the sugar and salt. Cook this over medium heat, giving it a stir every once in awhile, until it thickens up and gets creamy, 15 to 20 minutes. Crack your egg into a small bowl and beat it with the remaining 1/2 cup milk. Slowly stir this mixture into the rice. Stir in your diced apricots and cook 2 minutes more. Take off the stove and stir in your butter, vanilla, orange zest, and cardamom. Grate some nutmeg over top.

CHOCOLATE-ORANGE RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Stir milk, rice, sugar, orange juice, and orange zest together in a heavy saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is tender and the mixture is thickened, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir orange liqueur and cocoa powder through the rice mixture; add chocolate chips and stir until melted into the pudding.

CREAMY ORANGE RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Remove zest from orange using the smallest holes on a box grater, and set aside. Cut ends off orange, and remove peel, pith, and outer membranes, following the curve of the fruit with a paring knife. Lift sections away from membranes, and set aside. Squeeze juice from membranes over sections before discarding.
• Place the Arborio rice, milk, reserved orange zest, lemon zest, vanilla bean and seeds, salt, and sugar in a medium saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and most but not all of the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream. Remove the vanilla bean, and serve the pudding in small bowls garnished with orange sections.

ORANGE RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Mix the rice with the milk, honey and orange rind in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat, cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer very gently for 1 ¼ hours, stirring regularly.
• Remove the lid and continue cooking and stirring for 15-20 minutes until the rice is creamy.
• Pour in the cream and simmer for 5-8 minutes longer.
• Serve the rice sprinkled with chopped pistachios.

RICE PUDDING WITH APRICOT COMPOTE

Steps:

• Boil the rice in the water for 8 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Add the milk and simmer over very low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure that the bottom does not stick and burn.
• When the rice is very soft and the milk not entirely absorbed, add the sugar and stir until dissolved. If it is a bit dry, add a little more milk. Add the orange blossom or rose water, or a mix of the two, and cook for a minute longer. Turn off the heat, sprinkle on the mastic, if using, and stir very well before pouring into a serving bowl. There should still be quite a bit of liquid. It will be absorbed as the pudding cools; the result should be creamy. Pour the pudding into a wide serving dish and chill in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap.
• For the apricot compote, wash the apricots, cut them in half, and remove the pits. Put them in a large heavy-bottomed pan with the water, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook, covered, over low heat for 10 minutes, or until the apricots fall apart. Let the fruit cool, then chill it in the refrigerator before spreading it over the rice pudding.

ORANGE RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. Place the rice in a saucepan, cover with cold water and a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and drain.
• 2. Grate the zest of 1 orange. Peel all the oranges, divide them into sections, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• 3. Combine the orange zest, milk, and sugar in a saucepan and heat over high heat to a boil.
• 4. Add the rice, cover, lower the heat to very low, and cook, stirring occasionally so the rice does not stick, for 30 minutes.
• 5. Remove the rice from the heat, add the orange marmalade, stir well, and let cool. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• 6. To serve, surround each serving of rice pudding with orange sections.

CREAMY ORANGE RICE PUDDING WITH ALMONDS

Steps:

• Grate the zest from 1 orange. Slice this and 1 other orange in half; squeeze out juice. Combine zest and juice in a saucepan, and add rice, sugar, 5 cups water, cinnamon stick, and vanilla. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until almost all the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• Remove saucepan from heat. Stir several times, return cover, and let stand for about 15 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let cool.
• Using a sharp knife, remove the peel and pith from remaining oranges. Carefully cut out segments, and discard seeds. Set aside.
• Just before serving, whip cream until stiff. Fold cream, almonds, and all but 10 of the orange segments into rice mixture. Transfer pudding to a large bowl, and garnish with reserved orange segments.
