can i freeze home made rice pudding ?

[Deleted User]

hi there i have just bought a 6.5 slow cooker and have done a lovely veg soup in it with good results. i am now going to do a rice pudding but need to know if i can freeze what we don't eat today or tomorrow.

i will be using skimmed or semi skimmed milk if that helps .

thanks in advance as my thanks button doesn't seem to work :-)

Dont normally jump on thjis thread-but can answer your question from my own experience. I've made rice pudding loads of times and fozen the left overs. Always worked and tasted just fine.

Hope that helps!

brilliant that's what i was hoping for !! thankyou x

No problem. By the way I make mine in my slow cooker and its great.What I do is when its not quite as thick as I would like-I turn it off and take the bowl out and put it on the side on top of a teatowel because the heat can make it cook further and make it thicker.

ok thanks .do you use the same quantities of everything as you would in the oven or do you use less liquid ?

You must be very restrained in your house.. there would absolutely NEVER be any 'leftover' rice pudding in my house...:rotfl:

EDIT: I meant to add that I found when I made it with semi-skimmed milk it never thickened up so well so now I do half and half full fat and skimmed and its delectable , hence never any leftovers...

To be honest in regards to quanitites I just follow what it says on the packet. Sometimes cant be bother with that-just throw it in by eye. I tend to keep an eye on it. Ifd it looks too thick, I add more milk.If it looks abit runny, throw in more rice. You can go wrong with it.Only thing that I would say is make sure you add flavor. I always put in plenty of cinnamon and nutmeg and vanilla essence-but thats my personal likes.

As for left overs-I always make loads and its only me that its it.I'm sure that will change now as my son its EVERYTHING at nearly 8 months old and as for my other half-if the rice pudding isnt in a tin and made by Ambrosa, he wont touch it!More fool him and more for me:j
