Can you believe it’s December already? That means it’s time for another Foodie Extravaganza! This month’s ingredient is Eggnog. Oh, I can’t even tell you how happy that made me. See, I’m one of those people who buys eggnog as soon as it hits the shelves and keeps buying it until it disappears…and until recently I was the only one in the house who drank it!
So you can imagine that my head was spinning with ideas of what to do with one of my favorite winter treats. My first thought was marshmallows…then cupcakes…then cupcakes with marshmallow topping. All amazing ideas that I may tackle in the future, but in the end I decided to keep it simple and highlight the eggnog itself. And that’s how this Eggnog Rice Pudding was born.
Years ago on another blogger’s site I remember reading this question, and now I think of it whenever I make/eat rice pudding – Why is it that some grains, like oats, we cook with milk and sugar and call it breakfast while others, like rice, are dessert? I don’t have an answer to that. Really, why is that?
Breakfast, lunch, dessert. Whatever. I’ll eat rice pudding any time of day.
Don’t forget to check out the bottom of this post for more egg-noggy goodness. Because egg-noggy is totally a word.
Eggnog Rice Pudding
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Yield: serves 4
Ingredients
- 3 cups eggnog
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup arborio rice
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar (optional)
- 2 fresh bay leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring often, until the rice is tender about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Pudding may seem thin but will thicken as it sits.
Notes
TIP: Keep the heat fairly low, and allow the mixture to come to a simmer but not a boil to keep the eggs in the eggnog from curdling.
