Vanilla rice cream
Instructions:
-
To fancy up an old-fashioned rice pudding, gelatin and whipped cream are added to this classic. It is a wholesome family dessert and a perfect base for fresh berries in season. It is often served with ice cream toppings such as caramel, butterscotch, or chocolate syrup and chopped nuts.
- 3 cups milk;
- 3 tablespoons short-grain rice;
- 1 package (I tablespoon) unflavored gelatin;
- 3 tablespoons cold water;
- 1 tablespoon sugar;
- 1 teaspoon vanilla;
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped.
- In a heavy saucepan, combine 2 cups milk and rice. Place over low heat and cook until the rice is tender, about 30 minutes. Mix the gelatin with the cold water and let soften a few minutes.
- In a bowl, combine the gelatin mixture, sugar, and 1 cup milk. Mix into the hot-milk-and-rice mixture. Cool. Add the vanilla, and then fold in the whipped cream. Spoon into dessert dishes and chill.
- PINEAPPLE RICE CREAM: Before chilling, add 1 cup thoroughly drained canned crushed pineapple to the rice cream.
