Rice Pudding

 

When I moved back to South Florida I was amazed that every grocery store I was in had rice pudding for sale.  I had not thought of it or eaten in a hundred years.  But of course every time I saw in a store, I bought it.  I ate it for dessert, I ate it for a snack and I ate it for breakfast.  It dawned on me one day I might make it myself and have it any day of the week, not just on shopping day.  Brilliant!  I must admit I never have wasted any leftover rice again and I usually make sure there will be extra rice for the following day’s dessert.  A small amount of this rich and creamy dessert will satisfy the dessert “Monster” in you.
