Brown Rice Pudding

So here's an old family recipe that I came up with on the fly...Half an hour ago...But it will become an old family recipe! I wanted dessert and I didnt have many ingredients with which to make any so I threw some basic dessert ingredients in a pot and hoped for the best! It was pretty good so now I am sharing it with you!

FOR THIS RECIPE YOU WILL NEED:

1 Cup Brown Rice
1 Cup Milk (or your milk substitute of choice)
1 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
Optional Ingredients
Raisins
1 Teaspoon Ground Coffee
1 Teaspoon Cocoa Powder

See where I'm going with this? It's basically rice pudding but with brown stuff in it! Now I'm going to describe this recipe to you using the optional ingredients and you can mentally discard any you don't like.

 First make your rice. Today, I happened to use real rice and not minute rice so kudos to me! Toss that teaspoon of coffee grounds in with the water when you heat it.When the rice is done cooking, turn off the burner and let it sit for a little while until any remaining water gets soaked up. Then return and dump the milk, eggs, brown sugar, raisins and cocoa powder into the pot and bring it to a boil, stirring every 5 minutes. Once it is boiling, let it continue to boil for another 5 minutes and turn it off. Leave the kitchen for 20 minutes. Or stare at it for 20 minutes, I don't care. Once the top layer of delicious looking gunk has congealed, stir it in and enjoy. Or refrigerate the concoction and serve it over vanilla ice cream in dessert dishes to your friends and they will all think you are really classy.
