Traditional Icelandic rice pudding is often made with large amounts of sugar and butter. We’ve made a healthier version by adding dried fruit for sweetness and fiber.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • ½ cup short grain white rice
  • 2 ¼ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar, or to taste
  • ⅓ cup dried fruit (raisins, dried plums, apricots or figs)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon peel, freshly grated
  • Pinch salt
  • ¼ cup almonds, sliced and toasted

Directions

  1. In a small pot, combine the rice and water, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, stirring frequently.
  2. When most of water is absorbed, about 10-15 minutes, add milk, sugar, and raisins. Simmer, stirring occasionally for 35-40 minutes, or until the pudding reaches desired thickness.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest and salt. Spoon pudding into individual bowls and top with sliced almonds and dusted with cinnamon, if desired. Pudding can also be served cold by transferring to a glass bowl and covering with plastic wrap directly on the surface of pudding and storing in the refrigerator.
