Ingredients

2 cups milk

2 cups cream

2 cups half and half

1 cup sugar

1 cup long grain rice

1 vanilla bean

2 Tbs rum

dash salt

8 oz Pkg bite size chopped pitted dates

8 oz whipped topping or 1 cup cream whipped

Directions

In heavy duty sauce pot heat milks, sugar, vanilla bean ( split ) over medium heat, stirring occasionally until mixture comes to a boil.

Add rice and bring to a boil again.

Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cover and cook mixture ( stir occasionally ) until rice mixture becomes creamy and liquids almost absorbed.

Pudding will thicken with chilling.

Remove from heat , remove vanilla bean and stir in the dates.

Let cool completely and then cover and chill very well.

Then place mixture in a large glass or dessert bowl and blend in the whipped topping or the cream that has been whipped to lighten texture of the pudding. .

Garnish pudding with chopped almonds and maraschino cherries if desired.

Note: if you want date and nut rice pudding then blend in some slivered or sliced almonds along with the dates to the pudding instead of using as a garnish.

For a lower calorie version one can make pudding with all milk or part milk and skim milk and use the whipped topping instead of the heavy cream.
