Rice Pudding

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

2 cups cooked long-grain rice
2 cups skim milk
4 pitted dates, chopped
2 Tbsp + 2 tsp firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 ounce (about 3 Tbsp) sliced almonds

In medium saucepan, combine rice, milk, dates, and sugar; cook over medium
heat, stirring frequently, just until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to
low; simmer, stirring constantly, 20 minutes, until mixture is thickened. Remove
from heat. Add vanilla and cinnamon to rice mixture; set aside to cool. Divide
evenly among four custard cups or serving glasses; cover and refrigerate
until chilled. Serve sprinkled with almonds.
