Warm Jasmine Rice Puddings With Passion Fruit Recipes

JASMINE RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine three milks, cinnamon, vanilla seeds and pod, if using, and salt. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Add rice, return to a boil, stirring and scraping the pan so that the rice does not stick. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until all liquid has been absorbed by the rice and rice is tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Do not let mixture brown.
• Remove rice from heat and immediately stir in sugar until dissolved. Stir in raisins. Set aside and let cool completely.
• Place cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat cream on medium speed until soft peaks form.
• Fold whipped cream and lime zest into cooled rice pudding, until mixture is loose and rice kernels are separated. Divide among 6 bowls. Top each with a scoop of passion fruit sherbet and passion fruit seeds, if desired.

RICE PUDDING WITH FRUIT

Steps:

• Bring the milk, sugar and vanilla to a boil in a saucepan. Add the rice, mix well, and bring the mixture back to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to very low, and simmer for about 40 minutes, until the rice is very soft. (The mixture should still be soupy; if it is not, add enough additional milk to make it soupy.)
• Add the dried fruits to the pudding, mix, and set aside until cooled to room temperature. Spoon into six dessert dishes and serve, if desired, with 1 or 2 tablespoons of yogurt or sour cream on top.

JASMINE RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat milk in a medium saucepan until hot but not boiling. Add tea leaves or essence. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep 20 minutes. Strain milk if using tea leaves; set aside.
• Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in rice and salt, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until rice is tender and liquid has evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir milk, butter, and 1/2 cup sugar into rice. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and the pudding is thick, about 30 minutes.
• Spoon pudding into dessert dishes, and cover with plastic wrap to prevent skin from forming; set aside in refrigerator. Place remaining cup sugar in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, without stirring, until dark amber in color, about 15 minutes. Pour caramel over top of each pudding. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
