Notes & Options:
There are lots of ways to modify this cranberry rice pudding to spruce it up, down or just change it to suit your palate. You can try:
– Using almond milk instead of cow’s milk if you want to avoid dairy for any reason.
– Add raisins; 1/3 of a cup of raisins to the saucepan if you’d like them plump and juicy, or wait and add them to the chilled rice pudding if you prefer them dry.
– The secret to a good rice pudding is to let it sit overnight in the fridge before serving it. Same with the cranberry topping.
– Add some cinnamon or other holiday spices to the chilled dish.
Make it Healthy – Replace the sugar with granulated sweetener in both the homemade cranberry topping and the rice pudding mixture. Replacing this one ingredient (sugar) will turn this recipe into a healthy, sugar-free snack instead of a sweet treat.
