My favorite guilt-free dessert.

As a diabetic and perpetual dieter I’m always on the lookout for a decent homemade dessert. I’ve tried making pumpkin pie with 1,548 packets of Equal, but it’s not the same as the real thing and you have to wash down the aftertaste with half a quart of Coke Zero. This rice pudding recipe, however, which was invented by yours truly, is the real deal and my all-time favorite. As a bonus it’s also extremely easy to make and you don’t have to wait very long to dig in.
  • 3 pkgs.* Jello sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 6 cups cold nonfat milk
  • 1½ cups cooked white rice at room temperature
  • ½ cup raisins
  • cinnamon to taste
Prepare vanilla pudding in a large bowl according to package directions, then stir in the cooked rice and raisins and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Sprinkle cinnamon on each individual serving. *These are regular-size packages of pudding mix that require 2 cups of milk each for preparation.
This recipe actually makes enough to serve six people or you can keep it all for yourself if nobody else wants any. That’s the case in MY house because Sam doesn’t like rice pudding. Thank you for reading this.
