Description

This classic rice custard is a comforting, no-bake dessert that combines tender cooked rice with creamy evaporated milk and sweet vanilla pudding. The addition of plump raisins and a light egg-based custard creates a rich, spoonable texture that feels like a warm hug in a bowl. It is perfect for family dinners, holiday gatherings, or any time you crave a nostalgic treat. Simple to assemble with pantry staples, this dish delivers deep, satisfying flavors without the need for an oven. Serve it warm or chilled for a delightful finish to any meal.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rinse the raw rice and cook it in 4 cups of water with the sugar until the rice is tender but not mushy, about 15-20 minutes. Drain any excess water.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice mixture with the two cans of evaporated milk and the raisins. Stir well to combine.
  3. In a separate small bowl, mix the vanilla pudding powder with 1 cup of milk until smooth. Pour this mixture into the rice bowl and stir thoroughly.
  4. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the 5 egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  5. In another bowl, beat the 5 egg yolks until light and fluffy.
  6. Gently fold the beaten egg yolks into the rice mixture, followed by the stiff egg whites. Fold carefully to maintain airiness.
  7. Stir in the vanilla extract and sprinkle with cinnamon to taste.
  8. Taste the custard. If it is too thick, add a splash of additional milk to reach your desired consistency.
  9. Serve warm or refrigerate until chilled.
