Aren’t those rice puddings pretty? This recipe for Creamy Rice Pudding is super easy and adds an element of fun and variety by stirring in your yogurt of choice. The yogurt not only makes the rice pudding even creamier, it adds flavor and allows you to get creative with the presentation.
This rice pudding can be served warm or cold and if you serve it cold it can be made well in advance to save you time (up to 2 days). Then all you have to do is add the yogurt and, if you want, a little garnishing. Or if you want to keep it informal but fun for an occasion like Monday night football, simply bring out the rice pudding along with a variety of fruity yogurts and let everyone select and stir in their own. These are sure to satisfy the sweet cravings while offering a healthier dessert alternative!
