You can eat rice in a variety of ways and this time it’s not about the sauce, stew, or vegetable. Not even jollof rice (Nigerian or Ghanaian). It is about rice pudding, a simple and unusual treat from the usual rice dishes in Nigeria. You may have heard of it or been hesitant to try it. But I’m sure you’d fall in love with it on your first try.
Rice pudding is a tasty, quick, and easy-to-prepare dessert. It is, nevertheless, a decent substitute for oatmeal. It’s also a very healthy breakfast that you cant whip to your taste.
You might have heard that to make the perfect pudding you need short grain rice but trust me; even a long grain can come out well.
Short and medium-sized rice grain such as sushi rice has been one of the best choices because of their richness in starch as they can help thicken the pudding.
If the variety of rice used does not have enough starch, you can always add some cornstarch.
What is most important is that the rice should be a variety that can soften quickly to give you a mushy texture.
However, these rice varieties may have slight changes in the taste, color, texture, and flavor of the pudding.
These all make up the basic ingredients in any pudding. Other ingredients are optional.
The smoothest pudding is made with full cream milk. You can also use coconut milk, skimmed milk, and so on, but because they lack fats or have insufficient fats, the pudding will be less creamy.
You can also use powdered milk by dissolving 5 sachets of full cream milk in 2 glasses of water.
Please keep in mind that the pudding thickens more as it cools. As a result, bring it down early before you get the consistency you want.
