In Germany this is more likely to be eaten (mostly by kids) as a lunch main dish instead of breakfast or dessert.
I’ve tried this yesterday for the 1st time and it tastes really well. I had it for lunch, it’s really heavy but good 🙂
Thanks for sharing! It’s delicious, and almost the way I remember it from being a kid in Germany.
Mjam 🙂 It is not necessary to mix the milk with cream. For a diet version you can even use milk with 1,5 % fat. More german rice pudding recipes are at http://www.milchreisrezept.de.
