Jack and his comp made rice pudding in Korea on their mission, and since Jack and I like rice pudding so much we finally decided to make some at home. We did this chocolate recipe first, so we'll have to try regular/cinnamon rice pudding soon. This recipe turned out to be pretty good - the rice stood out more than when I've eaten rice pudding at Rice to Riches (NYC) or Pudding on the Rice (Provo), but it was still good.

Stirring and stirring.

Letting it cool in the fridge. Can you tell we like rice pudding? Speaking of, I wish Kozy Shack's rice pudding was better. The Original flavor isn't sweet enough for me (but it's still good), and I wish the cinnamon flavor didn't have raisins in it. Raisins ruin everything! Oh well - I guess I'll just have to become an expert at making homemade rice pudding!
