A lightened up version of a classic favorite. This tropical rice pudding is cooked on the stovetop and I’ve discovered that you can enjoy a creamy and healthy low fat rice pudding using low fat milk. Boiling the rice in the milk instead of water is the first secret. The second is the type of rice used, arborio. Arborio is used for risotto and because of it’s high starch content, when it released during cooking, makes the milk even creamier. You’ll notice there is no cinnamon in this rice pudding because I wanted the fresh vanilla flavor to be prominent so I left it out. You can add a small pinch if you like. With the addition of the tropical fruit, it will taste like you're on vacation.
