Healthier Rice Pudding

This creamy rice pudding is lower in sugar than traditional desserts. But, the addition of cinnamon and vanilla give it a natural sweetness you will love. Plus, pudding is a great way to get calcium and vitamin D!

If you are looking for a heartier option, try Brown Rice Pudding which has a bit more filling fiber.   


Makes: 8 servings

Ingredients
½ cup white rice, uncooked
3 ½ cups nonfat milk
3 Tbs sugar
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp lemon zest
½ tsp vanilla
½ tsp ground cinnamon 

Instructions
  1. Measure out milk and reserve 1 cup for later.  Bring 2 ½ cups milk and rice to a boil in a heavy bottomed skillet over high heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and continue boiling for about 5-6 min until mixture begins to thicken, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in additional 1 cup milk, cinnamon stick, sugar, and lemon zest.
  4. Increase heat to medium-high. Boil 4-5 minutes until creamy.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
  6. Let sit for about 30 minutes to continue thickening. Remove cinnamon stick before serving, and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
