Leftover Rice Pudding
Kenya could eat rice morning, noon and night, so I’m constantly trying to come up with new recipes using this great grain. I’m thankful that he loves rice so much because it’s inexpensive, easy to prepare and healthy. I usually make a big batch in the rice cooker once or twice a week, so I always have some on hand in the fridge to quickly heat up and serve with beans, stir fry, sushi rolls or Chicken and Rice Burritos. Although I love the Creamy Rice Pudding recipe that I make all the time, this quick Leftover Rice Pudding is a fantastic alternative to the real thing without sacrificing any of the flavor. Just plop all the ingredients in a pan, let the rice absorb most of the milk and, “ta-da”, rice pudding that everyone in your house will think took you hours to make.
Leftover Rice Pudding (Serves 4)
2 Cups Cooked White or Brown Rice
1 Cup Vanilla Rice Milk (you can also use cow’s, almond or soy milk)
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 Tsp Cinnamon
2 Tbsp – 1/4 Cup Agave Nectar
1. Place all the ingredients in a sauce pan and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until it starts to thicken up.
2. Place in bowls and cool.
3. Refrigerate or serve at room temperature.

Can i ask a simple question?
I have been reading and enjoying this blog for quite sometime now.
I have a 17 mo girl and she isn’t picky or anything. the question is this: Do you cook and give to eat to your children something you don’t like for yourself?
I hate rice pudding, I never eat it and so I never tried to feed it to my daughter. But she may like it so I’m thinking of preparing some for her only. Just in general do you feed your children something you don’t like, you don’t normally cook for yourself?
Between you and me, I’m not a huge avocado fan but my kids live for them! Everyone has a different taste of what they like and don’t like so I don’t let what I don’t like get in the way with their eating. Kids should have a chance to try things on their own and decide if they do or don’t like it.
I always buy precooked organic brown rice, because I’m too lazy to cook the regular stuff. This looks perfect me and my little tot! Thank you!
Thanks for posting this. I was just thinking of ways to use the rice milk I bought this week. This is such a healthy, easy to make recipe and great use for leftover rice. I wonder if you’ve ever tried this with Thai Red Rice? I was thinking that might be a good alternative as well.
Thanks!
Yes I have cooked with it, but never for a recipe with weelicious. I’ll give it a try! thanks!
I tried making the leftover rice pudding and it didn’t come out right at all. The rice didn’t cook in that time (i used brown). Should I have cooked the rice separately according to package?
You would have to use cooked rice and pour that into the pot. Sorry for the confusion.
I made this for breakfast this morning. Easy, fast and good, Thank you! I saw that you posted a comment on my blog about the pumpkin waffles
I post a lot of your recipes as I LOVE your site!! Thanks so much! I also have a 2 year old boy and a baby girl on the way, I see a lot of myself and the way I like to cook in you and your site. It’s comforting to know that there is a place I can go to for last minute dinner ideas that are quick, taste good and are healthy for my family.
From my santa barbara kitchen,
Thanks again,

Silly question: cook the rice first?
yes
I just made this recipe for my 1 year old, but the whole family loved it! I added sliced almonds and raisins to the recipe… we all licked our bowls clean! Thank you for such an easy, but healthful recipe which I don’t feel too guilty feeding to my toddler.
I’ve read a lot of recipes here and I was just wondering… is there a possible substitute for the agave and agave nectar? It’s hard to find/expensive where I live!
Yes there is! You can use either honey or maple syrup.
