Creamy Strawberry Rice Pudding Recipe
Arborio rice cooked with milk and a little sugar and then combined with gently cooked sliced strawberries
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 4 cups non-fat milk
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar (or substitute 2 tablespoons, plus 1 tablespoon Truvia Baking Blend)
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom or 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1-1/2 cups sliced strawberries
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine the rice, 1/4 cup of the sugar and the cardamom.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, stirring often to keep it from sticking to the bottom. Cook until thick and creamy, about 35 minutes. (The rice should be very soft and plump.)
- While the rice is cooking, in a small saucepan, combine the strawberries and remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Heat gently, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the strawberries begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
- Remove the pudding from the heat and stir in the strawberry mixture.
- Let stand at room temperature to cool slightly. Serve warm or place in a covered dish in the refrigerator until chilled.

(Must be logged into WW on a smartphone or tablet.) 6 PointsPlus (Old plan) If the pudding is gets too thick after cooling, stir in additional milk to get the desired consistency. If you don't have cardamom, skip it or use a little cinnamon instead. Substitute Truvia Baking Blend for the sugar and reduce the calories from sugar by 75%. Or use your favorite zero calorie sweetener (Lankato Monkfruit, Swerve, etc.) in place of the sugar. If you are using Truvia Baking Blend (which is what I did), you only need to use 3 tablespoons for the entire recipe. Use 2 tablespoons of Truvia (in place of the 1/4 cup of sugar) when cooking the rice and 1 tablespoon of Truvia (versus 2 tablespoons sugar) when heating the strawberries.
