This rice pie is a traditional Easter dessert, and it is easy to make because it has no crust.
INGREDIENTS (for 8 servings):
- 1 (3 ounce) package cook and serve vanilla pudding
- 2 cups milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups cooked instant rice
- 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
PREPARATION:
Prepare the vanilla pudding according to package directions using the milk. Set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Stir in the cooked rice, vanilla pudding and ricotta cheese until smooth. Pour into a 9 inch deep dish pie plate or 10 inch pie plate.
Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the center appears set when the pie is gently jiggled. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled before slicing and serving.
