a "skinny" rice pudding recipe...

Serves 8 1 cup long-grain white rice 6 cups skim milk 1 cup sugar 3 large eggs 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom or cinnamon, plus more for garnish 1/2 cup golden raisins, plus more for garnish Directions: In a large saucepan, combine rice and 5 cups milk; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender, 15 to 17 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, vanilla, cardamom, and remaining cup milk. Slowly pour egg mixture into rice mixture; cook over medium-low, stirring constantly, until pudding coats the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in raisins. Pour pudding into a 6-quart casserole dish or large bowl; let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour (or up to 3 days). Serve pudding garnished with more raisins and cardamom. I made it today but I used 1 c Slenda instead of the real sugar.. It's in the fridge cooling now but I can't wait to try it.. Looks real good..

That sounds just like my rice pudding recipe, except skinnier. Let me know how it tastes with the Splenda. I'm not crazy about the aftertaste of Splenda, but I would be iwlling to try it if you say it's good! It's such a comfort food for me. Also, what does Cardamom taste like?

Hard to describe cardamom...it is a warm flavor and sort of naturally a little sweet...has a little in common with cinnamon. Its often used in Indian food and especially in Indian desserts. I love it...especially in a caramel cardamom cake I make!

Oh my! Before my big "revelation" five days ago I would have asked you for that recipe. Just the title sounds divine!

Sounds great to me, and I will try it! I would think it would be fine, with Splenda, let us know, hon! Thanks, for sharing! Is this what you eat all the time, cause, I can't find ANY SF rice pudding, around here!

We have a SF rice pudding here in the dairy section of the grocery store called Kozy Shack. Really good!

Not around here! ha Remember, we're in the back woods, here! Not really, but we don't carry a lot of things, for some reason! lol

OK girls, as I told you, I did make it.. It makes a lot of servings. It came out OK per say, but it doesn't seem to be enough rice for all that milk.. And since I used splenda, it did NOT have an after taste.. So that part was good.. I though on a scale of 1-10 it was a 7.. But that is just my opinion..LOL! I do like it and will probably make it again for the summer.. HUGS, CN

Mmm..this sounds good! I love cardamom!
