This creamy rice pudding is made on top of the stove. By using fat-free milk and EQUAL® the calories are less than half that of the traditional recipe. So enjoy and don't feel guilty!
INGREDIENTS (for 6 servings):
- 2 cups water
- 1 cinnamon stick, broken into pieces
- 1 cup converted rice
- 4 cups fat-free milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Equal® Spoonful*
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup raisins
- Ground cinnamon and nutmeg
PREPARATION:
Heat water and cinnamon stick to boiling in large saucepan; stir in rice. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 20 to 25 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Discard cinnamon stick.
Stir in milk and salt; heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 15 to 20 minutes or until mixture starts to thicken, stirring frequently. (Milk will not be absorbed and pudding will thicken when it cools.) Remove from heat and cool 1 to 2 minutes; stir in Equal®.
Beat egg yolks, egg whites and vanilla in small bowl until blended. Stir about 1/2 cup rice mixture into egg mixture; stir back into saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in raisins.
Spoon pudding into serving bowl; sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg. Serve warm or at room temperature.
