Grandma's Holiday Rice Pudding

I love Grandma's Holiday Rice pudding. She always put some pineapple and a cherry on top to look festive for our rice pudding! It's a delicious treat dessert. You can add other suggestions if you're not a pineapple fan! Use Red and Green Cherries for Christmas!

Rice Pudding all dressed up for the Holiday!

A nice little twist to the plain old rice pudding which is still spectacular that's why I leave it plain and top it with what I like!


This has a festive look for a holiday dessert.


Grandma always made this at least once a month.


It was her favorite dessert. I really find it a comforting dessert anytime of the year.


The creamy pudding is delicious and irresistible.

It's Addicting!

You really can't stop eating it. We also like it with rum in it as an adult treat.


This one has the wonderful aroma of pure vanilla extract. The stirring part is the secret to it's rich creaminess.


Give a try you will be hooked. A little patience is needed for the best end results.
