Rice Pudding is NOT a Breakfast Food

I ate it for breakfast anyway. And then I was sick.

It's just so delicious, is all, and David made it for me before our breakfast smoothies so I was hungry and then I ate like two dishes of pudding and my smoothie and now I'm uploading the recipe to my blog whilst curled up  on the sofa in a ball of very happy regret.

Make the pudding after breakfast, is all I'm saying. And double the recipe next time, David. I ate so much of this stuff (he had a serving, too) that now we only have one serving left! ;A;

(This is a fabulous way to get rid of leftover rice, by the way. Make a cup of rice, eat a quarter cup of it for lunch, whine that you don't want rice for lunch anymore, the leftover rice'll get nice and hard and  inedible as straight-up rice, and then boom! Pudding!) :}

Rice Pudding is NOT a Breakfast Food

Ingredients
3/4 cup uncooked rice, which you will cook
1/3 cup raisins
1/4 cup milk (I use soy)
1 tbsp Irish cream
2 cups milk (I use soy)
1/4 cup coconut milk
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 dash salt
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla



Instructions
- Cook the rice. If you're using leftover cooked rice, heat it up in the microwave until it's steamy.
- While that's cooking, combine raisins, 1/4 cup milk, and Irish cream. Heat in the microwave 1  minute, then set aside.
- Wait for the rice to be done before moving on.

- In a medium saucepan, heat 2 cups of milk and 1/4 cup coconut milk. Add salt and brown sugar, stirring to dissolve.
- Once the milk is boiling, add the cooked rice and boil, stirring constantly, for 15-20 minutes, or until the whole mess is thickened and (in David's words, "gloopey"). Reduce heat to very low.
- In a cereal bowl, whisk an egg. Add a little of the rice pudding to the egg and whisk to fully combine. Then add the egg/pudding mixture into the pot with the pudding in it.
- Add 1 tsp vanilla and the raisin/milk/Irish cream mixture. Stir to combine.

Serve warm. I mean, it can probably be served cold, but who'd want to? It's so nice warm.

Also, make it AFTER you've had breakfast. Seriously. My tummy hurts. No regrets.
