This recipe should be unlisted. While I agree that the flavor is good (albeit sugar could be halved) and even better with my additions of vanilla and raisins, part of the magic of rice pudding is its consistency. I'm not sure how this passed muster for publication.
VERY milky, cooked as directed, and left in the refrigerator overnight. Had to pour off most of the milk before transferring to ramekins and now I see after refrigeration that more would need to be poured off. I don't like wasting food but these will be tossed. It's not only the consistency but also, the high sugar content that makes these much too sweet for my taste.

Delicious flavor but also milky and thin. I cooked as directed above mostly = used 3.5 cups %2 Lactaid milk plus .5 cup heavy cream, zest of small orange. Cooked on low in crock pot (7 qt) for two hours, stirring every 30 minutes. Chilled overnight and it thickened a little but still soupy texture. My fix: put half a portion in small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to low simmer and stir constantly, like risotto, for about 15-20 minutes until visibly thickened and luscious. Now the texture is perfect for me. Will make again with these alterations!

I used lemon zest instead of orange. Ultimate compliment- the cat liked it too(without the zest)

As Toni states, this rice pudding is not thick and rich, but it IS delicious, smooth, creamy, and oh so easy!! Try it. We love it! I did add vanilla and used a cup of half and half in place of the milk, but I'll bet it's grat with al milk too.

Text is confusing. It reads as if there are 2 different recipes, at least the way I read it. But it seems there is only one and it is not the tick and very rich version of someone's childhood. That is the one I seek.

I agree with Toni L. I did make this Greek version, it is very good and I will make it again during the warmer months but I would also love to have the recipe for the original version which is thick and rich and perfect for fall and winter evenings. Any chance you are willing to share it also?
