Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 2 cups milk
• 0.5 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh fruit (e.g., diced strawberries, blueberries, or mango)
• 3 egg whites
• 0.25 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 0.125 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a medium-sized, oven-safe baking dish.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the cooked white rice, milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Gently fold in the fresh fruit of your choice, ensuring even distribution throughout the rice mixture. Transfer this mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 5

In a clean, dry mixing bowl, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.

Step 6

Gradually add the powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites. Beat until stiff peaks form, giving the meringue a glossy appearance.

Step 7

Spoon or pipe the meringue over the rice and fruit mixture, spreading it evenly to cover the top completely. You can create decorative peaks using the back of a spoon, if desired.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown on top.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. The Fruity Rice Meringue can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
