Rice Pudding with Fresh Fruit and Honey
Rice Pudding with an Artisanal Honey Swirl
Christmas is about traditions, and for some of us, Christmas would not be complete without a family-favorite — rice pudding with fresh fruit and a swirl of Buzz Savories Artisanal Honey. Even if you haven’t spent years or decades making this simple, nourishing rice pudding dessert featuring Arborio rice, perhaps now is the time to start the tradition.
I especially like it because the fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or pears (choose the fruits or berries you like best!) add color and a pleasantly sour flavor that balances the sweetness in the rice, and then the swirls of honey add a gentle floral flavor to the entire composition. Serve it chilled. Swirl the honey on the fruit at the table and I promise smiles all around.
Cooking the rice requires 45 minutes and then, you’ll have the pleasure and art of arranging the fruit and presenting the finished dish with a drizzle of Buzz Savories Honey.
Rice pudding with fruit and honey is a light, simple and delicious dessert that also makes a delightful holiday breakfast. I thank Epicurious for the original recipe.

Rice Pudding with Fresh Fruit and Honey
What You'll Need:
- 1 cup arborio rice
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1½ cups water
- ½ cup sugar
- 5 cups whole milk
- ¼ tsp almond flavoring
- ⅓ cup sliced almonds for a topping
- 18 large blueberries
- 12 large raspberries
- 6 ripe strawberries sliced in 4 slices
- 1 Tb Buzz Savories Honey, to taste
How To Prepare:
- Bring arborio rice, salt and 1½ cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer until water is almost completely absorbed, 6-8 minutes.
- Add milk, uncover the pot and return to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender and milk is thickened, 30-35 minutes. Add sugar and almond flavoring and cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved about 3 minute longer.
- Milk will thicken and coat a spoon and reduce in volume to intensify flavor. This pudding will be a liquid and unlike puddings thickened with cornstarch.
- Chill the rice pudding. Spoon into serving dishes and arrange fresh fruit on the top and sides of the rice pudding. Sprinkle with the sliced almonds.
- Drizzle with Buzz Savories artisanal honey and serve.
