Crockpot Rice Pudding With Fruit Recipes

SLOW COOKER RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Stir 4 cups milk, white sugar, and rice together in a slow cooker until the sugar dissolves; add margarine.
• Cook on High for 2 1/2 hours.
• Beat egg, 2 tablespoons milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt together in a bowl.
• Temper the egg by stirring a small amount of the hot rice mixture into the egg mixture to gently warm the egg without cooking it; stir the egg mixture into the rice in the slow cooker.
• Continue cooking on High until creamy, about 15 minute more.
• Transfer pudding to a glass baking dish, cover with plastic wrap leaving two corners uncovered to vent, and refrigerate until chilled completely, at least 1 hour.

CROCKPOT RICE PUDDING WITH FRUIT

Steps:

• NOTE* May use half nonfat and half whole milk or all nonfat. Substitute canned milk for the regular milk for a very rich flavor. The cooking time will vary greatly, anywhere from 1-1/2 to 3-1/2 hours. The longer it cooks the thicker it will be. It is important to have the dried apricots minced. Put all ingredients into crockpot. Stir to blend well. Cover and cook on HIGH 1- 1/2 hours, stir once after about 1 hour. Or, cook on HIGH for the first 30 minutes, turn to LOW and cook as long as you desire. Check after the first 2 hours of low cooking and stir. If rice is not absorbing the milk quickly enough, turn the crockpot up to high again. Keep cover on at all times. Crockpot temperatures vary widely among different brands. Only experimentation can tell you the correct amount of time for cooking in your crockpot. Rarely will a crockpot recipe fail, as the long, slow cooking process does not require precise timing.
