Candied Pecan Rice Pudding in the Slow Cooker

I have decided to start sharing recipes on my blog. I use our slow cooker / crock pot several times a week. It makes delicious meals that are easy to make! Last night, I made a crock pot dessert in the slow cooker for the first time!

Candied Pecan Rice Pudding made in the Slow Cooker:

3/4 cup long-grain white rice
3 cups milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Nutmeg to taste
Ginger to taste
1/3 cup ground candied pecans
1 pinch salt
1/3 cup butter, melted
whipped cream


Directions:

1. In a colander, rinse rice thoroughly under cold water.
2. Put in lightly greased slow cooker.
3. Add remaining ingredients, except for butter & whipped cream.
4. Stir to combine.
5. Pour butter over rice mixture.
6. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 to 2 1/2, until rice has absorbed the liquid.
7. When ready to serve, spoon into dessert bowls and top with whipped cream.
