Rice Pudding Creme Brulee

A twist on the famous dessert. This one is a rich rice pudding studded with raisins and finished in the broiler to create a crispy caramelized topping.

Ingredients

2/3 cup water

1/3 cup long grain rice

2 eggs

3 egg yolks

1/2 cup GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup raisins

2 cups whole milk

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/3 cup light brown sugar

Honey Tips

How Honey is Made

To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings.

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 °
In a saucepan boil water. Add rice and a pinch of salt. Simmer covered 10 to 12 minutes until water is absorbed. Set aside and let cool.
Coat a 9-inch square pan with non-stick cooking spray. In a bowl whisk together eggs, egg yolks, honey, salt, raisins and cooled rice. Whisk in milk and heavy cream. Pour into prepared pan.
Set custard pan in a larger baking pan and fill with hot water to reach half way up sides of custard pan. Bake for 1 hour and 40 minutes or until pudding is set and firm. Cool slightly on a rack. Cover and chill.
Remove custard from refrigerator once chilled. Pat top dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over top. Place custard pan in a baking dish filled with ice. Broil top of custard until golden. Watch closely. This will happen very quickly!
