Description

This Fruited Rice Pudding is the epitome of comfort food, offering a velvety, creamy texture that feels like a warm hug. The long-grain rice simmers slowly in skim milk, releasing its natural starches to create a rich, spoonable consistency without heavy cream. A touch of cinnamon and brown sugar infuses the base with warm, nostalgic spices, while the addition of an egg yolk ensures a luxurious, silky finish. Topped with fresh, juicy nectarines or plums tossed in a hint of sweetness, this dessert balances the dense creaminess of the pudding with bright, fruity acidity. Its perfect for a cozy weeknight treat, a potluck contribution, or a gentle breakfast on a chilly morning. Simple ingredients transform into an elegant dish that appeals to all ages.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine skim milk, ground cinnamon, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and salt.
  2. Bring the milk mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in the long grain rice.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. While the rice simmers, place the egg yolk in a small bowl and beat lightly.
  6. Once the rice is tender, stir about 1/3 cup of the hot rice mixture into the egg yolk to temper it.
  7. Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining rice mixture, stirring rapidly and constantly.
  8. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a pudding consistency.
  9. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  10. Meanwhile, toss the diced nectarines and plums with the remaining 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
  11. Let the fruit stand for 15 minutes to macerate.
  12. Spoon the warm rice pudding into dessert bowls.
  13. Top each serving with the sugared fruit mixture. Serve immediately or chill before serving.
