Rice Pudding

 

Kids Cooking

 

Instant rice, pudding, sour cream, and whipped topping are blended to prepare a creamy dessert for your family.  Instant long grain has been processed, pre-cooked, and then dehydrated to make it shelf stable.  This type of rice, which is enriched by adding nutrients to the rice kernels, requires a cooking time of only a few minutes rather than the lengthy time required for uncooked or raw rice.  Have fun cooking, but always leave the kitchen clean. 

 

Recipe:

3/4   cup Instant Enriched Long Grain Rice

3/4    cup water

         Prepare 1 1/2 cups rice according to box directions.  Chill. 

 

1        3.4-ounce box French Vanilla instant and pie filling pudding mix

1 1/2  cups milk

          Reduce milk to 1 1/2 cups and prepare pudding according to box directions. 

          Chill.

 

1/2     cup dairy sour cream

1 1/2  cups frozen whipped topping, thawed

1        11-ounce can mandarin oranges, drained

 

In a mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream and whipped topping.   Stir in chilled pudding and rice.  Spoon into dessert dishes and chill.  Just before serving, top each with a pinwheel of mandarin oranges.   

Yield:  6 servings.
