Review:
While I was visiting my parents this past week I decided I would make this rice pudding dessert for my dad. I don’t enjoy this sort of dessert but I know that he does. He actually loved it and thought it was at least 4 stars. He ate most all of it and had the rest for breakfast the next day. I had a couple of bites and thought it was much better than the other rice pudding that I did a while back. It had a custard-type layer on the top and the almond extract added an interesting flavor. I give this 2 stars, but if you’re a rice pudding type of person it’s 4 stars.
