Red White and Brulee Rice Pudding

IMG_4849

This week is all about LOVE and I’m kicking the week off with a sweet treat for your sweetie. If you don’t have a sweetie these are so good you’ll want to make them for yourself. I originally did this recipe for the rice festival so feel free to leave the rice out. It’s the best of both worlds combining rice pudding with crème brulee.

¾ cup water
¼ teaspoon salt
1/2 cup Riceland long-grain white rice
1 ¾ cup whipping cream
¼ cup half and half
½ teaspoon vanilla
6 large egg yolks
1/3 cup plus 4 tablespoons sugar
20 fresh raspberries

Combine water and salt in a small saucepan. Add rice and reduce heat to low, covering and cooking until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Fluff with fork then cool completely.

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Pour cream, half and half and vanilla into heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer. Whisk yolks and 1/3 cup sugar in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in hot cream mixture. Stir in rice.

  1. I have a sweetie, but even if somebody doesn't... those look good enough to make as a treat for themselves!
