Description:
Rice pudding is one of the first desserts I have ever made. Actually, my grandmother made it for me when I was very young and it has been a love affair since. She made it simple with milk, sugar, and rice. While growing up in Paris my dad made it a few times and from that point forward, I have played with the flavors to make it mine. Comfort food. When you taste a spoonful of this delicious dessert from the pan, you will understand why. It goes down so easily. However, you can also serve it chilled and it is a fun pick me up snack between school, activities, and homework. The pudding can be made lighter by substituting the heavy cream with whole milk or even skim milk.
