This super simple rice pudding is a wonderful way to use cooked rice to make a luscious creamy dessert in a fraction of the time. <\/p>\n\n\n

There are different variations of rice pudding throughout the world. Most rice pudding recipes involve cooking rice with milk (or cream), eggs, and sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmm, what else can you make with milk\/cream, eggs and sugar? Ice Cream! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yup, the secret ingredient to this easy rice pudding recipe is ice cream. Just mix the cooked rice and the ice cream and cook until soft and creamy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a great recipe for cooking once and eating twice. Cook some extra rice when preparing dinner and then turn that extra into dessert that night or the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What kind of Ice Cream can you use for Rice Pudding?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Regular, sugar free, non dairy, low fat ice cream or frozen yogurt will all work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chocolate, vanilla, butter pecan with caramel swirl, rum raisin. Any flavor that tickles your fancy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What kind of Rice to use for Rice Pudding?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can use whatever kind of rice you want, but there will be a difference in taste and texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short or medium white rice is used most often because they are starchier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first time I made this, I used basic long grain white rice, which worked okay. It needed some extra liquid and to be cooked longer to get soft enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can experiment with jasmine or brown rice or black rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is best if the rice is a bit starchy and soft. If you typically rinse the rice of the starch before cooking you may want to add a little starch (corn, rice, potato) to make the sauce a bit thicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
