Dig inside of these spooktacular chocolate rice pudding parfaits made with RiceSelect Royal Blend with Quinoa for a nutritious twist on a classic dessert. For being healthy, they taste frighteningly sinful!
Ingredients
1 cup RiceSelect Royal Blend with Quinoa
2 cups water
Dash of salt
1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip Free, thawed
1 small box sugar free/fat free instant chocolate fudge pudding
1 cup fat free or low-fat milk
¼ cup miniature chocolate chips
1 pkg Oreo cookies, crushed into coarse crumbs
Gummy worms
Candy bugs, candy bones, candy eyeballs
Instructions
First, make your rice: in a medium saucepan, bring together the Royal Blend with Quinoa, water and dash of salt together; bring to a boil. Stir once and cover with a tight fitting lid. Let cook on low heat about 20 minutes.
Once rice has cooked, remove from burner and let it cool a bit to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, spoon the rice into a gallon-size Ziploc baggy. Seal all the air out and place the baggy into a large bowl filled with ice water. Let it chill in the ice bath for about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in another large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and the milk until combined. Gently fold in the Cool Whip to incorporate, stirring in the mini chocolate chips at the last second. Finally, fold in the rice carefully.
Let the rice pudding sit in the fridge for a few hours or overnight to allow the rice to soak in the flavors and so everything can get acquainted.
Spoon the rice pudding evenly among parfait glasses or bowls. Top with the crushed cookies, gummy worms, bug and bone sprinkles and eyeball sprinkles, if you'd like. Serve immediately.
For a more grown up version, consider spooning the mixture into martini glasses and topping with chocolate syrup "spider webs" and a raspberry garnish.
