Does anyone know if you can make rice pudding with risotto rice as the last place in town (Waitrose)that sold pudding rice has stopped selling it?

I think that risotto rice is sort of between a long grain rice and a pudding rice. I've seen rice pud made with basmati rice so I dont see why you couldnt.
anyone else any ideas?

I think you can make rice pudding with risotto rice, but I think you may have to cook it on the hob rather than in the oven.Jane

Hiya, I'd just give it a try, I don't think it'd go far wrong, just keep an eye on it!
I know you didn't ask, but this is the recipe for my favourite rice pudding, it's an old Weight Watchers one, I think. The quantities below are supposed to be for 4 portions, but to be honest, they do 2 or 3 portions imho! Just eat with a teaspoon, make it last longer!
The original recipe suggests using skimmed milk, but I find the end results are FAR better using semi-skimmed. Never tried it with full fat though, come on, I'm not that decadent!
Don't be put off by the cardamon or bay leaves, the flavour is quite subtle. They usually get caught in the skin as it cooks, so it's generally quite easy to find them before serving.
I've tried various permutations, adding coconut, dried fruit, raisins, chopped nuts etc on different occasions, and it always turns out nice! Just experiment!
80g Basmati
60g sugar
800ml milk
2 bay leaves
4 cardamon pods
Bring to boil, simmer for 30-40 mins till desired consistency is achieved. I have to admit I usually stick it in the oven rather than on the hob, so I don't know about how often to stir it!

You can make risotto with pudding rice so I should think it would work the other way too
