Ingredients

1 1/2 cups Raw rice
2 cans Evaporated milk
1/2 cups Raisins
1 Box vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
5 Eggs, separated
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Cinnamon, to taste
Milk, as needed for consistency
1/2 cup Sugar

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.
