Tips & Warnings
Adding a dash of cinnamon on top of the rice pudding gives it a different flavor. You can also choose fresh or canned pineapple chunks for your rice pudding rather than crushed pineapple. Pineapple could also be served as a side dish rather than cooked into the rice pudding. Covering your rice pudding with plastic wrap as it cools prevents a film from developing across the top.
Rice pudding should not be gummy. Avoid overcooking. For a creamy rice pudding, do not use skim milk. Rice expands, so don't be tempted to add extra rice.
