Categories: Desserts, Low-fat
Yield: 4 servings

1 qt Skim milk
2 c Cooked long-grain white rice
1/3 c Maple syrup; PLUS:
2 tb Maple syrup
1 ts Grated orange rind
1/3 c Broken walnuts

Combine the milk and rice in a large saucepan. Cook, stirring, over
medium-low heat until the mixture boils and thickens, about 25
minutes. Stir in 1/3 cup maple syrup and cook 10 minutes more.
Add the orange rind and vanilla. Pour into 4 (8-ounce) dessert bowls
or custard cups; then allow to cool at room temperature.
Meanwhile, heat the walnuts in a small heavy frying pan over low heat,
stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Drizzle with remaining 2
tablespoons maple syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the
syrup boils and coats the walnuts, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle on the
puddings.
