Leftover Rice Dessert With Strawberries Recipes

RICE PUDDING WITH LEFTOVER RICE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients and preheat the oven to 300 F.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and rice over medium-low heat, stirring together frequently so the milk doesn't burn. Bring the mixture to a slow simmer.
• In a separate medium bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, and vanilla.
• Whisk about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture to temper the eggs. Add all of the egg mixture to the saucepan of hot milk and rice, stirring constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs. Allow to cook until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 175 to 180 F.
• Add the cinnamon and raisins, stirring just to combine.
• Finally, pour the rice pudding mixture into an 8 x 8-inch casserole or baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes. For a creamy texture, remove the rice pudding when it's lightly set with a slight jiggle. For a firm baked custard, cook until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Allow the rice pudding to cool slightly before serving.

CREAMY STRAWBERRY RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Bring 3 cups water to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Add rice and salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until rice is very tender and water is absorbed, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Add 1/3 cup sugar and cinnamon and stir to blend. Add milk and simmer until mixture is very thick, stirring frequently, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool 10 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract. Cool to room temperature, about 2 hours.
• Mix strawberries and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar in large bowl. Let stand until juices form, at least 30 minutes. (Rice pudding and strawberries can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate separately. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)
• Stir yogurt and 2 cups strawberry mixture into rice pudding. Transfer to large bowl. Top with remaining strawberry mixture and serve.
