Diabetic Rice Pudding for Two
"My husband loves rice pudding, but he's diabetic (we both are). This is a simple recipe which only makes enough for two servings. He can't pig out! I usually set aside cooked rice just to make this for him."

Can use plump raisins, not the super dry/hard variety -
What a tasty rice pudding! It is so creamy and the cinnamon and nutmeg are great with the rice. I used low-fat milk as that was all I had on hand and it worked out really well. My choice of fruit was canned cherries and I felt they really added to the dish. Usually I like my rice pudding plain, but the fruit with it was great. Thanks for sharing this idea with us, Ms. Cooky!<br/>I found that for me personally 2 tbs of sugar was enough sweetness, but thats just personal preference I guess.<br/>Made and reviewed for Think Pink October 2012. -
Made with dried cranberries instead of cherries. It is so nice to enjoy a guilt-free dessert once in a while and this is a super treat. Thanks for sharing Ms. Cooky. Made for My3Chefs Nov '09.
