I came up with the plan to cook this when my husband was fondly remembering the rice with milk and sugar he used to love as a kid. I said I would make him some.
Digging around the pantry I found some different ingredients to sweeten. And I thought they would also add a bit of depth to the sweetness and flavor with some marshmallow and caramel notes.
I mean, nobody ever said we had to stick with the sugar bowl for the rest of our days.
I like the results which are not dissimilar to a rice pudding. It comes together fast using leftover rice. I cooked mine in the rice cooker and used it warm. Since I didn’t want to end up scorching the milk in any way. It turned out really good. At least I think. Let me know how you like it in the comments below!

That does look very much like rice pudding, Sue. A bowl full of warm comfort and good childhood memories!
This post reminds me of my childhood. We would eat cold leftover rice with milk, sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon. We didn’t heat it though it would be much more like pudding if it were warm.
Yummmmmy, rice pudding for breakfast. With marshmallow creme so different from the rice pudding I make.. Reminds me of the times my mum use to make rice pudding for breakfast with leftover rice.
