MOCK RICE PUDDING

www.eatingwelllivingthin.wordpress.com

One (4-serving size) pkg sugar-free Instant Vanilla pudding mix

1 3/4 cups milk

One 16-ounce container small curd cottage cheese

1/2 cup sweetened whipped cream OR Cool Whip

2-3 tablespoons Splenda – if desired

1/2 cup raisins

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

.

In a large bowl whisk together the pudding mix and milk until thickened. Fold in the cottage cheese, whipped cream, Splenda, if using, raisins, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cover and chill for at least two hours.

I changed my mind on letting it sit! I love this as soon as it’s made and the next day…after that it’s good, but not AS good. Also, the raisins get too soft for me. I like them CHEWY! So from now on I will make it without the raisins and add them fresh to each serving. (After how many years of making this did I finally figure that out?)

Makes approx six 1/2-cup servings.
