It's everything you love about the lemon poppy-seed desserts, but without the flour! Perfect to celebrate Spring, light and flavorful, yet a little sophisticated too. Note: Don't skimp on the vanilla bean. They are pricey but this desert is worth it.

I just had some. It is sooo good. I didn't skimp on the type of rice or the vanilla bean, and it was well worth it. I wish I had this recipe when I was pregnant. I was always craving rice pudding. The combination of flavors is great.
