– Raspberry Lemon Rice Pudding –
Rice pudding is one of those desserts that can be so versatile, but we rarely step out of our ¨comfort zone¨ and try a different version other than the classic one. So, I decided to step out of the box and create a rice pudding that elevated the playing field. After testing and trying different versions, I came up with a raspberry lemon rice pudding. This combination of flavors has that ¨wow-factor¨ with every bite, it´s seriously that good! and the best part? how easy it is to make. This dessert can be enjoyed all year round, but during the spring and summer months, is when it´s best enjoyed, as fresh raspberries are in-season. However, you can also use frozen raspberries, as they are available all year-round and have a great color and taste to them. Some people actually prefer frozen over fresh, as they say the fruit has more concentration to it. In this recipe I used fresh raspberries, as they where to beautiful to pass up.
