Cardamom adds a special, rich flavor that takes a sometimes ordinary dessert—in this case, rice pudding—to a tasty new level! And it’s easier than you think to make a real show-stopper. Add an egg to give the pudding a luscious, custardy texture that’s still easy on the waistline: a perfectly satisfying, yet light dessert!
Prep time: 5 minutes
Serves 1-2
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups milk
- 1/4 cup uncooked medium-grain rice
- 4 packets of Nektar Honey Crystals
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method
- In a medium saucepan, bring the milk, rice, Nektar Honey Crystals, cardamom, and salt to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until the rice is tender, about 20-25 minutes. Stir often so the rice does not stick.
- In a small bowl, whisk egg until well mixed. Add a few tablespoons of hot rice mixture to the egg mixture a little at a time to prevent scrambling the egg, mixing constantly.
- Then add the egg mixture into the rice and stir over low heat until thick, about 5 minutes. Do not let it boil or the mixture will curdle. Stir in raisins and vanilla and let the raisins soften. Garnish with cardamom.
- Serve pudding warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
