Rice Pudding is a classic dessert that kids and adults enjoy. It’s easy-to-make and only takes a few basic ingredients to make it. You can serve it warm (reheated slightly in the microwave) or cold. The kids like to have a little bit of cold milk poured over it in their serving bowl before eating it. You can toss in raisins or if you prefer things sweet…toss in a handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips after it has been baked (and cooled).
