Banana Pudding Rice
Preparation Time:
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 30 minutes
- Total Time: 45 minutes
Difficulty Level:
- Easy
Ingredients:
- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Whipped cream or whipped topping (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the Rice:
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- Prepare the Pudding:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, granulated sugar, and eggs until well combined.
- Gradually pour this mixture into the saucepan with the cooked rice, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
- Cook the Pudding:
- Continue to cook the rice mixture over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens and becomes creamy, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add Flavorings:
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Gently fold in the sliced bananas.
- Serve:
- Transfer the banana pudding rice to a serving dish. Let it cool slightly before serving, or chill in the refrigerator for a cold dessert. Top with whipped cream or whipped topping, if desired.
