Peach Rice Pudding Recipe, How to make Peach Rice Pudding

Peach Rice Pudding, also called Peach Ki Kheer … a delicate, refreshing and creamy pudding topped with dripping juicy peaches… who wouldn’t love it? Peach Rice Pudding is delicious when warm or cold as a dessert. It is so light and healthy that you can indulge in it without feeling a one bit guilty. Alternatively, Peach Rice Pudding makes delicious breakfast  substitute for oatmeal, porridge or cereal.

Peaches are one of my most favorite fruits. We are very fortunate to have the best peaches in abundance in late summer to early fall season. I try to make the most use of peaches, while they are in season, by making Peach Rice Pudding, Peach Jam, Peach Fruit Crisp, Peach Lassi, Peach Milkshake and even stick some slices of fresh peach in my morning toast. Have you ever tried a toast with a thin spread of ricotta cheese drizzled with honey and topped with fresh peach slices?

Peaches make a delicious combination with milky rice pudding. Feel free to use frozen or canned peaches if fresh ones are not available to you. Remember to adjust the sugar quantity if using canned peach as they are preserved in sugar syrup. I keep the Peach Rice Pudding simple without adding too many spices or nuts. I prefer to maintain the taste of rice, milk and peaches without overpowering the with spices. I also suggest using the short grain rice for thick and creamy rice pudding.

Now, let’s make some yummy Peach Rice Pudding!!

How to make Peach Rice Pudding – Peach Ki Kheer:

1. Remove the peach pit stone and chop the peaches into small cubes.
   
2. In a saucepan, add peaches and sugar; mix well.
   
3. Start to cook on medium high heat. Once the fruit started to cook, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until mixture has reached the jam consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool.
   
4. Rinse and soak rice in plain water for 30 minutes. I prefer to use short grain rice like Arborio. Arborio rice releases starch during cooking process which makes a really nice thick and creamy rice pudding.
5. In the meantime, in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour milk. Add sugar and bring milk to a boil.
   
6. Drain rice and add to the milk. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir frequently. Cook uncovered until rice has been cooked thoroughly and pudding has thickened; for about 40 minutes.
   
7. Add cardamom powder and remove the pudding from heat.
8. Cool the pudding to room temperature. Add cooked peaches and mix well.
9. Garnish with chopped nuts. Serve chilled.
10. Enjoy the delicious Peach Rice Pudding and share with others!
