Swedish Rice Pudding with Crispy Meringue Top
Ingredients
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup long grain rice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 egg yolks, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 egg whites, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
Instructions
1
Begin by heating your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your casserole dish by coating it with a layer of grease.
3
In a separate saucepan, bring the milk to its boiling point. Once this has occurred, combine the rice and salt into the milk, then reduce the heat to a lower setting. Continue stirring frequently as you cook the rice until it reaches its tender stage, which should take approximately 18 minutes.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, butter, and vanilla extract until they are fully incorporated.
5
Then, take 1 cup of the hot rice mixture and gently fold it into the egg yolk mixture until everything is well combined.
6
Pour this new mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining rice, and bring it to a boil once more. This time, however, stir constantly until the mixture thickens and reaches its desired consistency, which should take about 1 minute.
7
Carefully pour the egg yolk mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
8
To create a fluffy and airy texture, beat the egg whites in a separate bowl until they form soft peaks.
9
Then, gradually add 3 tablespoons of sugar to the egg whites and continue beating until they reach stiff peaks.
10
To check on the formation of these peaks, lift your beater or whisk straight up: if done correctly, the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
11
Finally, spread this egg white mixture evenly over the rice mixture in the casserole dish.
12
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake until it reaches a golden color, approximately 15 minutes.
