Can you freeze rice pudding!!?

Just made some rice pudding in the slow cooker, yummy !!
Can I freeze the leftovers for another day ?
Also do you have to defrost it before reheating or can you microwave it from frozen. I'm sure I read something somewhere that you can't reheat rice or was I dreaming ??
Thanks

    You have .... LEFTOVERS???? :eek: :eek: :eek:

    If you are concerned about freezing it (never tried, don't know the answer :( ) have you considered serving it up for breakfast with some stewed/tinned/fresh/dried fruit added? You could have it cold instead of say, porridge - I've actually made rice pudding for that purpose when things have been tight :o

    Also, I've been known to give/take it in a packed lunch (yes cold but it's still :drool: )

    Or, if neither of those options appeal ... serve it for tomorrow's dessert :D

    I thought I'd been very clever by making too much rice pud and freezing a portion for dh to take with his lunch a few days later. NOT a good plan :( :doh: It went grainy, mushy, and was completely inedible. It didnt taste the same as it had pre freezing, it was gross.

    Rice pud is DH's FAVE food, and so far as I can remember, this is the only thing I have ever (in 9 years) served up that he has been genuinely unable to eat.
    Sorry - but HTH.

    Oh what a shame, I was going to do some today thinking I could freeze loads for later use. Lucky I read this first!
