🥘 Ingredients
6 oz. of rice, 1 quart of milk, 1/2 lb. of sugar, the yolks of 6 eggs, 1 small teaspoonful of essence of vanilla.
👨🍳 Method
Put the rice into a stewpan, with the milk and sugar, and let these simmer over a gentle fire until the rice is sufficiently soft to break up into a smooth mass, and should the milk dry away too much, a little more may be added. Stir the rice occasionally, to prevent its burning, then beat it to a smooth mixture; add the yolks of the eggs, which should be well whisked, and the vanilla (should this flavouring not be liked, essence of bitter almonds may be substituted for it); put this rice custard into the freezing-pot, and proceed as directed in recipe No. 1290. When wanted for table, turn the pudding out of the mould, and pour over the top, and round it, a _compôte_ of oranges, or any other fruit that may be preferred, taking care that the flavouring in the pudding harmonizes well with the fruit that is served with it.

⭐ Reader Reviews
Honest opinions from readers who have explored this book.
I tried my hand at Iced Rice Pudding this week, and I must say, the process was more involved than I initially thought. I was surprised by how much stirring was involved — I found myself standing over the stove, whisk in hand, for what felt like an eternity, but it was worth it. The real delight came when I added the egg yolks and vanilla. The scent that filled the kitchen was divine, like a warm, comforting hug on a chilly evening. This recipe is perfect for the comfort-seeker looking to elevate their dessert game. The key to success is patience — both in cooking the rice until it's tender and in freezing the pudding. I served it with a compote of blood oranges, and the tartness cut through the richness beautifully. The result was a creamy, dreamy dessert that reminded me of a cross between ice cream and a classic rice pudding. If you're up for a nostalgic yet elegant treat, give this one a try. Just be prepared to spend some quality time in the kitchen.
