Rice pudding with cherry jam is a simple dessert, perfect for days when you want something sweet without a long list of ingredients. In this version, the rice is first boiled in water, and the milk is added after the liquid has been absorbed. Finally, the dessert is placed in small bowls and served with cherry jam on top. You can also use other types of jam, depending on the season or the family's preferences. Quick Info Total time: not specified in the original recipe Preparation time: not specified Cooking time: not specified; the rice is boiled until it absorbs all the water Servings: not specified Difficulty: easy Recipe type: homemade dessert, suitable for family Ingredients 1 cup of rice 3 cups of water 1/2 cup of milk 2 tablespoons of sugar 2 packets of vanilla sugar Cherry jam, for serving Preparation method 1. Rinse the rice well before boiling. Rinsing removes excess starch from the surface of the grains and helps achieve a more pleasant texture for the dessert. 2. Place the rinsed rice in a pot along with the 3 cups of warm water. Let it boil until the grains are cooked and the water has been absorbed. 3. Once the rice is cooked and there is no water left in the pot, add the milk, sugar, and vanilla sugar. 4. Stir well so that the sugar is evenly distributed throughout the rice and combines with the milk. Do not add the milk too early, as the recipe is structured in two steps: first boiling the rice in water, then adding the milk and sugar. 5. Place the rice pudding in small bowls. These can also be used to shape the dessert if you want to serve it upside down or keep it as an individual portion. 6. Serve the rice pudding with cherry jam on top. The amount of jam is not specified in the recipe, so it can be added to taste. The cherry jam adds a fruity and slightly tart element to the dessert, but the recipe can be adapted based on what you have on hand. It is important to add the jam at serving time, not during the rice cooking process. Why I make this recipe often It is a dessert with few ingredients and is prepared without complicated procedures. Rice, water, milk, sugar, and vanilla sugar are enough for the base of the recipe, and the jam quickly changes the flavor according to preferences. I also like it because it can be portioned directly into bowls. This way, there is no need to cut or portion it after it has cooled. The jam is added separately, just before serving, allowing everyone to choose how much they want. Tips Rinse the rice before boiling it. It is a simple step, but it makes a difference in the final texture. Follow the order in the recipe and add the milk after the water has been absorbed. This way, the rice first boils in the indicated amount of water, and the milk is added later. Stir after adding the milk, sugar, and vanilla sugar, so that the sweeteners do not remain concentrated in one part. If you put it in bowls to shape it, gently level the surface. The recipe does not specify a cooling time, so the dessert can be served as soon as it is portioned, according to preference. Substitutions Cherry jam can be replaced with any other preferred type of jam. The recipe mentions cherry jam, but the choice can vary depending on the season or taste. There is no need to replace sugar with another ingredient to keep the recipe in its original form. The 2 tablespoons of sugar and the 2 packets of vanilla sugar are used to sweeten the rice. Variations You can change only the jam at the end and keep the same rice pudding base. Cherries are the suggested choice in the recipe, but any jam available at home can be used. Another simple variation is to serve some portions with more jam and others with less. The rice mixture remains the same, and the final taste is adjusted at the table. If you are preparing the dessert for multiple people, the portions can be placed in bowls of different sizes. The source does not specify the number of servings, and the amount obtained also depends on the size of the containers used. Serving ideas Serve the rice pudding directly in bowls, with cherry jam on top. If you want to give it a clearer shape, let the rice sit in the bowl before serving, then you can turn it out onto a plate. The recipe mentions using bowls to shape it without specifying a particular cooling time. The jam can be added at the moment of serving, so it remains visible on top and combines with each portion to taste. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use another type of jam instead of cherry? Yes. The recipe states that the jam can be chosen according to the season or preferences. Cherry jam is the suggested option, but it is not the only possibility. 2. When is the milk added? The milk is added after the rice has been boiled in water and all the water has been absorbed. At that point, the sugar and vanilla sugar are also added. 3. Why is the rice boiled first in water? This is the method of preparation in the recipe. The rice is boiled in the 3 cups of water, and after the water is absorbed, the half cup of milk is added. 4. How much jam should be put on top? The amount is not specified. It is added to taste, directly over the portion of rice pudding. 5. Can I put the rice in bowls? Yes. The rice is placed in bowls for portioning and to take shape. The jam is added on top at serving. Nutritional values The values are estimated and depend on the size of the cup used, the type of milk, the exact amount in the packets of vanilla sugar, and the jam added. For the entire amount of rice pudding, without jam, the estimate is approximately 900-1,050 kcal. Estimated macronutrients for the entire recipe, without jam: Carbohydrates: approximately 210-235 g Protein: approximately 14-17 g Fat: approximately 1-4 g The cherry jam will increase the calorie and carbohydrate intake, depending on the amount used. Since the recipe does not specify the number of servings, it is not possible to accurately calculate a nutritional value per serving without first determining how many bowls are filled. Storage and reheating The original recipe does not specify the storage duration or reheating method. To preserve the dessert, place the portions in covered containers and keep them in the refrigerator. The jam can be added separately at serving time. If the rice pudding is reheated, the texture may become denser than when freshly made. In this case, stir the portion well before serving. It is more practical to keep the jam separate, so each portion can be served according to preference.
