Classic Creamy Greek Rice Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Immediately reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered very slowly, stirring occasionally, until most of the water has been absorbed and rice is soft, about 30 minutes.
• Pour 2 cups milk and sugar into the saucepan and increase heat to high.
• Meanwhile, stir together 1/2 cup milk and cornstarch in a bowl.
• Once rice-milk mixture is boiling, add cornstarch mixture and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined. Remove from heat.
• Ladle rice pudding into individual serving dishes and sprinkle with cinnamon. Allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 4 hours.

Steps:

• Combine cooked rice, 1 1/2 cups milk, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until thick and creamy, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir remaining 1/2 cup milk, golden raisins, beaten egg, and white sugar into the rice mixture; stirring continually. Continue cooking until egg is set, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat; stir butter and vanilla extract into the pudding.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine milk and sugar, and bring to a boil. Add rice, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 hour, stirring gently every 10 to 15 minutes. When it thickens, stir every 2 to 3 minutes.
• In a small bowl, beat egg, vanilla, and tangerine rind together. After rice pudding has cooked for 1 hour, add 1/2 cup of the hot mixture to the egg mixture. Pour the egg mixture into the pot, turn off the heat and stir.
• Pour into serving dishes. Sprinkle with cinnamon and chill.

Steps:

• In 1 1/2-quart saucepan, heat rice and 1 cup water to boiling, stirring once or twice. Reduce heat to low. Cover; simmer 14 minutes (do not lift cover or stir). All water should be absorbed; if not, drain excess water.
• Heat oven to 325°F In ungreased 1 1/2-quart casserole, beat eggs with wire whisk or fork. Stir in hot rice and remaining pudding ingredients except cinnamon. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
• Bake uncovered 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Top of pudding will be very wet and not set. Overbaking may cause pudding to curdle.
• Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, mix 3 tablespoons granulated sugar and the cornstarch. Stir in 1/3 cup water and the raspberries. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. If desired, strain sauce through strainer into bowl to remove seeds. Keep warm or refrigerate until serving time.
• Remove pudding from oven. Stir well; let stand 15 minutes. Enough liquid will be absorbed while standing to make pudding creamy. Meanwhile, in chilled medium bowl, beat whipped cream ingredients with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
• Serve pudding warm with warm sauce and whipped cream, or refrigerate pudding covered about 3 hours or until chilled, then serve with cooled sauce and whipped cream. Store pudding covered in refrigerator; sauce can be stored covered in refrigerator up to 10 days.

Steps:

• In a heavy 4-quart saucepan, combine the milk, lemon peel and rice. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until the rice is soft to the bite but still retains its shape, about 45 minutes. Remove rice from heat.
• In a small bowl, stir together the egg yolk and sugar. Rapidly stir a spoonful of the rice mixture into the yolk mixture. Stir the yolk mixture into the pan of rice, mixing steadily to prevent the yolk from curdling. Reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute.
• Add the cream, and cook, stirring, until the mixture is steaming. Remove from heat, and discard lemon peel. Stir in vanilla. Continue to stir until the mixture has cooled slightly; then press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the rice to prevent a skin from forming. Serve warm or at room temperature, spooned into bowls and sprinkled with cinnamon.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and butter a 1.5-litre baking dish. Put the pudding rice, sugar, vanilla, milk and cream in a bowl and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and grate over a generous layer of nutmeg. Bake for 1 hr 30 mins until a brown skin has formed on top and the rice is cooked and tender.
• Leave to cool slightly, then scoop the warm pudding into bowls and serve with a dollop of jam on top.
