This turned out pretty tasty! I substituted some ingredients. Instead of 2 cups of milk, I used one 15 oz can of GOYA coconut milk. I didn't have any almond extract so I used pure vanilla extract. Next time I make this I will divide recipe in half because 2 cups of uncooked rice yields a lot of rice.
I didn't expect such a wonderful final product. It's rice pudding, after all. I wasn't trying to re-invent the wheel. The only change I made was using half as much sugar and adding 3/4 t ground cinnamon instead of a cinnamon stick. It was "to live for". I've made it a couple of times now for a friend who is recovering in his home after major surgery. He says it has the same comfort factor as custard. Eats a bowl for breakfast some mornings.
I cut down the cooking time by boiling the rice covered on medium heat for 30 minutes. I kept all the ingredients the same except used 3/4 c sugar. It was fantastic! Just like Grandma's!
This is delish! For anyone following a diebetic diet the brown rice is always a better choice. I used 1/2 cup of honey. Honey takes longer to digest again better for your diet. I also added raisins also used fat free evaporated milk and skim milk. You won't notice the lack of fat. I also took a readers idea for ground cinnamon. This really is one of those I will use forever...thank you for your recipe Diana.
I used ground cinnamon instead of a cinnamon stick, vanilla instead of almond extract, and instead of the evaporated milk I increased the regular milk and added some heavy cream. This takes a long time but it is worth it. I'm not a big fan of brown rice but this is a way I will gladly eat it again.
DELISH! I started with leftover brown rice (already cooked) and added 1pt. whipping cream and 3/4 c. water. This rice pudding turned out amazing. Love, love, love the almond extract addition.
This turned out great! Though I cut the sugar in half and still found it plenty sweet.
For me this is five stars with half the sugar. Very creamy!
This is good but it isn't rice pudding or a custard. It is arroz con leche. Milk and rice and sweeteners. My grandmother's rice pudding recipe has eggs and butter so I think I am just being spoiled by that. It is good but it definitly lacks the fat/flavor of a genuine rice pudding. A great option for going lite though. Also to prevent it from getting crazy thick stop cooking it before it gets pudding thick; it will thicken up as it cools some more. If you miss the mark and cook until pudding thick I like to just stir in extra milk once it comes out of the fridge to get it back to a smoother texture.
