Serves: 6 person(s)
Yield: 6 x approx. 1 cup servings

Preparation Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: 20 mins
Extra Time: 1 hrs (for pre-cooking rice and cooling)

Ingredients:

2 cup cooked short-grain rice
2 cup skim milk
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 Tbsp vanilla
1 1/2 fresh kiwifruit
6 fresh strawberries
6 Tbsp fat-free whipped cream (garnish)
1 Tbsp orange zest

Directions:

Combine cooked rice, milk, sugar, and vanilla in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer over low heat, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes until very creamy and thickened. Remove from heat and let cool (mixture will thicken more as it cools).

While mixture cools, peel and slice each kiwi into 4 slices and slice strawberries.

Spoon pudding into serving dishes. When ready to serve, top each serving with 1 tablespoon whipped cream, 1 kiwi slice and 1 sliced strawberry. Garnish with orange zest.
