How to Make Jerry Rice Pudding for your Super Bowl Party

For those of us to whom even boiling water is a challenge, instant rice in a pouch rocks, right? Would’ve never thought of using it for a dessert, though. But here’s a super easy Super Bowl Day recipe, adapted from Real Simple Magazine …

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• one pouch of microwavable white rice
• 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4-1/2 cup raisins

1. Following the directions on the pouch, zap the rice. Let cool slightly and pour it in a large bowl.
2. Add the ice cream and cinnamon, stir well.
3. Add the raisins, stir well.
4. Scoop mixture into separate serving bowls, adding more ice cream, cinnamon and raisins on top, if desired. Serve warm during fourth quarter. Touchdown!

Tips & Warnings

• According to Real Simple, this recipe also works with any flavor of ice cream and recommends rum raisin and dulce de leche. I would add butter pecan to that list.
• Instead of cinnamon, the recipe says you can use a few drops of vanilla extract, pistachios or crystallized ginger.
• Watch out when you open that pouch. That rice will be hotter'n Jerry on Dancing with the Stars!
