Recipe Tips

To make the rice pudding even creamier, you can stir in a tablespoon or two of low-fat cream cheese or Greek yogurt before serving. You can also experiment with different spices, such as cardamom, ginger, or cloves, to add more depth of flavor. If you don't have raisins on hand, you can substitute them with chopped dates or figs. To save time, you can make the rice pudding ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to three days. Just give it a good stir before serving to make it creamy again. Enjoy this low-calorie rice pudding as a guilt-free dessert or a comforting breakfast on a chilly morning.
