Rice pudding!

Goodness, what a lot of rice pud lovers! Never expected so many. I even liked school rice pudding - at least it was better than frog spawn, as we called it, or the sundry varieties of stodge with watery custard.

We do often indulge in the delectable little pots of Ambrosia (one is never enough!) but I did enjoy mine - I scoffed the lot! ?????

Flaked rice is the best ricevto use for it, but Tesco have stopped selling it now, much to my disappointment.

I make a delicious creamy cold rice pudding with double cream & vanilla bean pods. Real comfort food.

I had difficulty locating pudding rice in Asda but eventually found it on the bottom shelf of the home baking aisle. I use Mary Berry's recipe and love the oven baked skin.

My Mum made it with a tin of evaporated milk + ordinary. Loads of nutmeg on the top too. Heaven !!

Treebee how do you make it with coconut milk? Do you dilute it?I have a tin I need to use up.

bathsheba my mum is 100 and I still buy tinned rice and tapioca pudding for her. I remember as children we used to have macaroni pudding as well. I guess mum never knew about savoury Italian dishes, but I loved it.

Oh yes, I make it with evap too----so creamy and very much moreish.
My mum's bread pud was something else, choc full of sultanas and I used to eat large slices the next day when it was like soggy cake but remained crispy on top.
Mum's egg custards were delicious too I can never match those.

I love rice pudding. And semolina and tapioca, though I don't think I've come across that for a very long time. Is it still available?

Love rice pud, with jam, with sultanas or on it's own.
It was a Sunday treat made by mum. Dad and I would fight over the skin.

Doesn't do it for me either, I'm afraid, although I loved it when my dear grandmother would make it, along with apple pie for pudding on Sunday.

These days, as Mr P doesn't "do" puddings, rice pudding would not be on my list.

However, lemon meringue pie, apple/rhubarb/pie/crumble............

Love rice pudding. I make it in the microwave. Takes about an hour. So creamy, and comforting.

A sad reflection of our trendy times Treebee
I have to admit Ambrosia do a very acceptable ready version too! (And you can eat it cold out of the tin ????)

Yummy when made with evaporated milk.

I made rice pudding last week using up a can of coconut milk. But I had to go to several supermarkets before I found pudding rice. I notice you’re using risotto rice, which I expect works well, but why the scarcity of pudding rice I wonder?

I make it often its afavourite of my OH's although I steal the skin off it first .My mother used make huge potfuls of rice pudding with literally a gallon of milk ,no need for that here so ist an ounce of rice to a pint of milk and that still does OH more than a couple of times

We had rice pudding tonight. Made in the slow cooker with excess milk, risotto rice and Stevia (healthy eh!). Then I added clotted cream and jam.

Not a fan... that or bread pudding. I think it's the texture for me. I remember my poor mum thinking she had made us a treat but we hated it. She grew up in Jersey during the war and knew about food shortages so could never wrap her head around us being fussy.

Yuk, I was forced to eat it as a child and sat there until I did. I do not even like looking at it now.

yum..rice pudding made with UHT milk. When i was younger my mum made it almost weekly, we used to guess what she had forgotten to put in it...one week she forgot to put the rice in!

My go to when I have too much milk, slow cooked in the oven or just quick make in a saucepan, yum.

Yum yum yum I love rice pudding. Real nursery food?
