Milchreis is a creamy and sweet breakfast. It’s delicious and I love serving it with a homemade fruit compote. Milchreis is the Swiss/German version of a rice pudding. While there are lots of different origins for rice pudding from all over the world, Milchreis is the one I grew up with and know best. It’s generally eaten for breakfast, however, I’ve definitely had it for lunch and even dinner over the years. In my opinion, it tastes delicious any time of the day.
The rice pudding is made with Arborio rice. However, you can also use leftover white rice to give yourself a little head start. If you use leftover rice, you will want to reduce the amount of plant based milk and water as the rice does not need to soak up as much liquid when it’s already cooked.
I always add cinnamon to my Milchreis. To be honest, I happily add cinnamon to most sweet breakfasts. It’s my favourite spice and it works really well with the creamy rice pudding. To top the rice pudding, I like to add fruit compote or jam as well as toasted nuts such as almonds. However, if you happen to have a chocolate spread in your cupboard, then that would certainly also taste delicious.
