Ingredients: 2 cups water; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1 cup uncooked long grain brown rice; 1 medium ripe mango; 1 cup vanilla soy milk; 2 tablespoons sugar; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; Chopped peeled mango, optional

Mangoes are my son's favorite fruit, so I was ecstatic to incorporate them into a healthy dessert. You can also use ripe bananas instead of mango, almond extract instead of vanilla, or regular milk in place of soy. —Melissa McCabe, Victor, New York

Ingredients

2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup uncooked long grain brown rice
1 medium ripe mango
1 cup vanilla soy milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chopped peeled mango, optional

Directions

In a large heavy saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil; stir in rice. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 35-40 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is tender.
Meanwhile, peel, seed and slice mango. Mash mango with a potato masher or fork.
Stir milk, sugar, cinnamon and mashed mango into rice. Cook, uncovered, on low 10-15 minutes longer or until liquid is almost absorbed, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Serve warm or cold, with chopped mango if desired.

This rice pudding was delicious! Total comfort food. I didn't have a problem with the rice like the previous reviewer. Kept the burner on super low.

Liked the idea, however, the rice burned with that small amount of water so I just regularly cooked the rice and then followed the same recipe after that.
