For 1 Serving(s)
Pudding
| 6 tbsp | Rice, uncooked long-grain white |
| 1 cup | Prepared milk (1/3 cup powder + 3/4 cup water) |
| 2 1/2 tbsp | White Sugar |
| 1 dash | Himalayan salt |
| 1/3 cup | Raisins |
| 1 tsp | Cinnamon |
| 1/2 tsp | Arrowroot starch |
| 1/2 tbsp | Ghee butter |
| 1/4 tsp | Vanilla extract |
Dreamy Rice Pudding Directions
- Prepare 1 cup of milk by mixing 1/3 cup powdered milk with 3/4 cup water until smooth.
- In a small pot, combine 3/4 cup prepared milk, 3/8 cup (6 tbsp) uncooked long-grain white rice, and 1/8 tsp salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat (camp stove or fire), stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup prepared milk, 2.5 tbsp white sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/3 cup raisins. Cook uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, mix 1/2 tsp arrowroot starch with 1 tsp water until smooth. Stir this into the pudding and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened. *If your rice has enough starch, you may not need this.
- Remove from heat, stir in 1/2 tbsp ghee and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract until fully melted and combined.
- Serve warm in a bowl or mug for a comforting trail treat.
Recipe Notes
- Substitute 1/3 cup dried cranberries for raisins if preferred—adds a tart twist.
- Pack powdered milk, arrowroot starch, and spices in sealed bags for lightweight travel.
- Long-grain rice holds texture better on the trail; pre-measure into a bag for convenience.
- Adjust sweetness by tweaking sugar to taste; add a pinch more cinnamon for extra warmth.
