A basket of Easter rabbit bread rolls may be made using this entertaining method, which is ideal for Easter breakfast or a children’s party. People won’t be able to stand how lovely they are! You can use the dough from this recipe (which is my Hot Cross Bun recipe minus the rum and dried fruit), the dough from my Easter Bread recipe, or any other sweet or unsweetened bread dough you choose.

- 6 cups whole milk

Terrible. Rice stayed crunchy even though I followed the recipe to a t. Custard ended up curdling because I tried to keep cooking the rice to soften it, adding extra milk in as I went.
I had serious doubts but was desperate for something that didn’t skimp but could be served the same day. I am thrilled to say this is exactly what I hoped for! I’m sure I’ll tweak it as I go because I can’t resist but this goes in the book as a core recipe
Made this recipe over the weekend. My hubby loved it and I brought some over to my neighbor and she loved it also. I’m making this again tonight.
Absolutely delicious! Very thick and creamy. I am so in love with this recipe, I’ll never look for another.
Tastes fantastic, I didn’t want to use an electric mixer since I was only making a half batch so I added the heavy cream at the end and stirred it in! Worked out great…
I’ve never been much of a rice pudding person but my husband loves it and I’ve been craving it during this difficult period, I think because it’s creamy and comforting. I searched for a recipe that uses Arborio rice for its starchiness and found this one, and wow, I am blown away. Yes, it’s still rice pudding with a basic rice pudding flavor profile, but the texture is so creamy and lush and it’s just absolutely perfect. I did make two (maybe 3?) small modifications. I used vanilla bean paste and incorporated with the eggs since the flavor of extracts is bear preserved when added toward the end of cooking, and I waited till the pudding had cooled to room temp before folding in the cream. This makes a huge batch and be sure to use an appropriately large pot—rice and milk are both wont to boil over.
Let me start by saying I LOVE rice pudding. Despite many attempts at making it myself, it sadly, has never turned out to my satisfaction. (Kozy Shack could probably retire on my money alone I was giving this one more try and found this recipe, had arborio rice in the cabinet and voila- sucess!!. I followed recipe with one change and that was adding vanilla when I added the egg mixture. I do have one question and that is why the heavy cream The consistency was beautiful before I even added it , and why do you whip it before adding it which kind of defeats the purpose of whipping it sent it falls when you add it to the warm-ish pudding. I think the next time and there WILL b a next time- I will leave the cream out. Si glad I found this recipe! I’m eating the whole thing by myself and not sharing one spoonful!
Made it exactly as written but did stir the rice, milk, sugar and vanilla constantly to ensure a thick, smooth consistancy. This tastes out of this world! My mother loves rice pudding but has never made it. We are celebrating mothers day today and she is going to be thrilled. This was my first time ever making rice pudding and this was the right recipe to pick!!!!!
Followed the recipe exactly with one exception; I added the vanilla at the end. Delicious!
