Microwave Rice Pudding Recipes

MICROWAVE RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Make sure the rice is cooked ahead of time.
• Whisk first 6 ingredients. And raisins if you want, we prefer without ;).
• Put in microwave and cook 1 - 1 1/2 minutes.
• Remove and whisk.
• Put back in microwave for another 1 - 1 1/2 minutes.
• Remove and whisk.
• Continue above steps until desired thickness (don't get too thick, you want it a little less thick than desired since it will continue to thicken as it sits).
• Add butter and vanilla once it's at desired thickness. You can omit butter to save on calories!
• Add anything else you want (cinnamon, nutmeg, fresh berries if it's cold, etc).
• Enjoy!

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.

RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a heavy bottomed, 3 quart sauce pan, combine the milk, water, sugar, cinnamon stick and rice. Stir to combine.
• Bring to an intense simmer (just below boiling) over medium high heat, stirring often. Reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer and continue cooking, stirring often until the rice is tender, about 35 to 45 minutes. Some liquid will remain. The mixture should have the consistency of a thin oatmeal but will continue to thicken as it cools.
• Remove from heat and remove the cinnamon stick. Stir in the vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract and raisins, if using.
• Spoon the rice pudding into individual ramekins or small containers OR transfer to a large serving dish. Let the pudding cool slightly before serving or let cool to room temperature, cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 1 day in advance.
• Just before serving, top with freshly grated cinnamon or ground cinnamon. Pudding can be enjoyed warm or cooled.
