Best Left Over Rice Pudding Recipe — Best Old Fashion Left Over Rice Pudding Recipe!

As a kid, I thought it was weird that my dad would order rice pudding for dessert.

Why would you go out to eat, have an amazing selection of desserts to choose from, and order rice pudding? Made no sense to me as a kid.

As I got older and became a bit more open-minded, I started to give more things a try. My first taste of rice pudding was awful... lol

It was mushy, full of raisins, and clumpy. I was turned off for years.

When Anthony started playing around with this recipe, I was not at all convinced that it would taste good.

Turns out, this was fantastic and worth sharing!

I think most people have a love/hate relationship with rice pudding. It is usually a texture thing. They think "why am I eating creamy rice"? lol

I love rice pudding! There is something comforting and relaxing about it. A warmth.

At the base, rice pudding is neutral but as you add your favorite flavors and spices it becomes absolutely delicious!
