Lebanese rice pudding, a cherished Middle Eastern dessert, is a comforting, quick-fix treat that boasts creamy goodness in just a matter of minutes.
For an added layer of indulgence, consider adorning your Lebanese rice pudding with a sprinkling of roasted pistachios and hazelnuts for a delightful crunch. Yet, this dessert shines even when enjoyed in its pure, unadulterated form, with a simple dusting of cinnamon on top.
While this rice pudding is typically served warm, storing it in the fridge and having it cold the next day won’t take away from its tastiness at all!
