Description

Swedish rice pudding is baked into a rich dessert that is creamy on the top and dense on the bottom; serve with whipped cream or berries.

Ingredients

2 cups water
1/2 cup white rice
2 2/3 cups whole milk
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup white sugar
1 (4-serving size) package cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1 Bring water and rice to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
3 Stir milk into cooked rice until evenly combined. Mix in beaten eggs, sugar, pudding mix, butter, vanilla, and salt until incorporated; transfer to the prepared baking dish.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into pudding comes out clean, about 1 hour.
