Dessert - Rice pudding with cherry jam by Liana B. - Recipia

Rice pudding is one of the simple desserts you can prepare with just a few ingredients. In this version, the cooking appliance does most of the work: you place the rice and milk in the pot, select the appropriate program, and then add the sugar and flavors during the cooking process. At the end, the dessert is served with cherry jam or any other jam you have on hand. The recipe is inspired by cooking in a Philips Multicooker using the RICE program. Quick Info Total time: not specified in the original recipe; depends on the duration of the RICE program of the appliance Preparation time: not specified Cooking time: RICE program, according to the appliance used Servings: not specified Difficulty: easy Recipe type: multicooker dessert Ingredients 1 cup of rice 2 ½ cups of milk 2 teaspoons of sugar Vanilla extract, vanilla sugar, rum extract, or cinnamon, to taste Cherry jam, for serving You can also use other types of jam if you don't have cherry jam. Preparation Method 1. Rinse the rice well in several cold water changes until the draining water is clearer. The original recipe mentions using well-rinsed rice with cold water before placing it in the appliance. 2. Place the rinsed rice in the multicooker’s container and add the 2 ½ cups of milk. 3. Close the appliance lid. Select the RICE program, then start it by pressing the START button. 4. After about 10 minutes from the start of the program, add the sugar and chosen flavor. You can use vanilla extract, vanilla sugar, rum extract, or cinnamon. If you prefer, you can combine vanilla with a bit of cinnamon, but the basic recipe is sufficient with just one flavor. 5. Let the appliance continue the program until it is done. The exact duration is not mentioned and may vary depending on the model of the multicooker and the available RICE program. 6. When the program is finished, unplug the appliance and let the dish cool. 7. Serve the rice pudding in bowls with cherry jam on top. You can also use jam from other fruits, depending on what you have available. Why I make this recipe often It’s a simple dessert with few ingredients and an easy-to-follow preparation. You don’t have to stir the rice continuously in a pot, as the cooking is done in the multicooker. The cherry jam adds flavor and color, and the aroma can be changed each time without altering the base recipe. I also like that rice pudding can be served plain or with jam. If there are multiple varieties at home, everyone can top it with what they prefer. Tips Rinse the rice before cooking, as indicated in the recipe. This is the first step and should not be skipped. Add the sugar and flavors after about 10 minutes, not at the beginning. This is the moment specified in the original recipe for the multicooker. Follow the RICE program of the appliance and check the instructions for the model you are using, as the program duration is not the same for all appliances. Wait for it to cool before serving. During cooling, the texture may change, and the rice pudding becomes easier to portion. Substitutions Cherry jam can be replaced with any other type of jam. The recipe explicitly mentions this possibility without limiting the choice to a specific fruit. For flavoring, you can choose between vanilla extract, vanilla sugar, rum extract, and cinnamon. There is no need to use them all. The amount of sugar remains as in the basic recipe: 2 teaspoons. The jam added at serving also contributes to the sweetness, so you can consider the chosen variety. Variations The simplest variation is to change the cherry jam for another type. The base remains the same: rice, milk, sugar, and flavor. You can change the flavor from one preparation to another. Vanilla provides a subtle taste, rum extract alters the dessert's profile more significantly, while cinnamon makes it more aromatic. Vanilla sugar is a practical option when you don't have extract on hand. The original recipe does not indicate other ingredients or modifications to the composition, so variations are limited to flavor and topping. Serving Ideas Serve the rice pudding in individual bowls, topped with cherry jam. If using another type of jam, choose one with a flavor you prefer. The quantity is not specified in the recipe and can be added to taste. The dessert can be served after it has cooled, according to the original steps. The jam is added at the end, directly in the bowl. Frequently Asked Questions Can I use a different program than RICE? The recipe was written for the RICE program of a Philips Multicooker, and that is the recommended program. If your appliance has a different name for cooking rice, you should consult the instructions for that model. An alternative program is not specified in the original recipe. When do I add the sugar and flavors? Sugar and flavors are added about 10 minutes after starting the program. You can choose from vanilla, vanilla sugar, rum, or cinnamon. Is it mandatory to use cherry jam? No. Cherry jam is the recommended option in the recipe but can be replaced with any type of jam. Do I need to rinse the rice beforehand? Yes. The rice should be rinsed well with cold water before being placed in the appliance's container. This step is clearly mentioned in the basic recipe. How long does the rice pudding cook? The recipe does not specify the exact duration. The RICE program is used, and the time depends on the appliance used. It only mentions that sugar and flavors are added after about 10 minutes. Nutritional Values The values below are estimates, as the recipe does not specify the cup size, type of milk, amount of jam used, or number of servings. The rough calculation assumes a standard cup of rice, 2 ½ cups of milk, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and does not include the jam. For the entire amount of rice pudding, the estimate is approximately 1,050-1,200 kcal, 210-230 g of carbohydrates, 30-35 g of protein, and 18-25 g of fat, depending on the type of milk used. The jam added at serving increases the energy value and carbohydrate content. Without an exact amount of jam and without a clear number of servings, per-serving values cannot be accurately calculated. These figures should be viewed as rough estimates, not as precise nutritional information. Storage and Reheating After cooling, rice pudding can be stored in the refrigerator in a covered container. The original recipe does not specify a storage duration, so it is best consumed within a short period and checked before serving. The jam can be added directly to the bowl, not necessarily to the entire amount of rice pudding. This way, the base is kept separate from the topping. When reheating, the texture may become denser than immediately after cooking. The recipe does not provide special instructions for reheating, so the dish can also be served cold after being kept in the refrigerator.
