Queen Of Rice Pudding

Queen of Rice Pudding recipe image
This "Queen of Rice Pudding" is a luxurious, old-fashioned dessert that elevates simple comfort food into something truly special. Unlike stovetop puddings, this version is baked, resulting in a creamy, custard-like interior where the rice grains remain distinct yet tender. The rich mixture of milk, egg yolks, and vanilla creates a silky base that soaks up all the warmth of the oven. Topped with a cloud of sweet, stiffly beaten egg whites, the meringue browns to a delicate golden crisp, offering a delightful textural contrast to the soft pudding beneath. It&# 226;ÂÂs the perfect ending to a holiday dinner or a cozy weekend treat. Serve it warm for maximum creaminess or chilled for a refreshing, set dessert.

Note

Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving warm, or chill for a firm, cold dessert.

Ensure the egg whites are at room temperature for best volume, and that the bowl and beaters are completely grease-free to help them whip to stiff peaks.

Seal the meringue to the edges of the pudding to prevent shrinking during baking.
